Mainly just removing file names from the comments.

Paulus suggested that we put xLparMap in its own .c file so that we can
generate a .s file to be included into head.S. This doesn't get around
the problem of having it at a fixed address, but it makes it more
palatable.
It would be good if this could be included in 2.6.13 as it solves our
build problems with various versions of binutils and gcc. In
particular, it allows us to build an iSeries kernel on Debian unstable
using their biarch compiler.
This has been built and booted on iSeries and built for pSeries and g5.

Presently the LparMap, one of the structures the kernel shares with the
legacy iSeries hypervisor has a fixed offset address in head.S. This patch
changes this so the LparMap is a normally initialized structure, without
fixed address. This allows us to use macros to compute some of the values
in the structure, which wasn't previously possible because the assembler
always uses signed-% which gets the wrong answers for the computations in
question.
Unfortunately, a gcc bug means that doing this requires another structure
(hvReleaseData) to be initialized in asm instead of C, but on the whole the
result is cleaner than before.

include/asm-ppc64/iSeries/LparData.h just included a whole lot of other files
to declare variables that would be better declared in those other files. So,
remove it. This will reduce that number of things needed to be included in
most cases to access the relevant variables.

This patch just contains white space and comment cleanups in the iSeries
headers files. There are no semantic changes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
