This makes the 8560 evaluation board fully supported under arch/powerpc,
as the first board with CPM2 SoC peripherals. The brand new devicetree
nodes are introduced (intending to be a subset of the QuiccEngine-equipped
models, with dts sources placed into the kernel according to the new convention.
Assuming all the preceding stuff applied (PAL+fs_enet related+ CPM_UART
update), the both TSEC eth ,FCC Eths, and both SCC UARTs are
working. The relevant drivers are still capable to drive users in ppc,
which was verified with 8272ADS (SCC uart+FCC eth).
This is also verified on mpc8540 and actually make it work (PCI stuff
working as well)

I got some undefined references to __stack_chk_fail in
arch/powerpc/boot/stdio.o and arch/powerpc/boot/prom.o when I was trying
to build a kernel on Ubuntu Edgy Eft - which includes Stack Smashing
Protection.
This patch adds -fno-stack-protector to BOOTCFLAGS in
arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile (why does BOOTCFLAGS depend on HOSTCFLAGS and
not CFLAGS?).

Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.
The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).
For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't
consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
change the zlib_deflate code.
Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
work.
This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real
world file read speed improvement.
This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the
zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

zImage will set /chosen/bootargs (if it is otherwise empty) with the
contents of a buffer in the section "__builtin_cmdline". This permits
tools to edit zImage binaries to set the command-line eventually
processed by vmlinux.

Miboot images are apparently still used on some old 32-bit powermacs,

The 601 processor will generate an alignment exception for accesses
which cross a page boundary. In the boot wrapper code, OF is still
handling all exceptions, and it doesn't have an alignment exception
handler that emulates the instruction and continues.
This changes the memcpy and memmove routines in the boot wrapper to
avoid doing unaligned accesses. If the source and destination are
misaligned with respect to each other, we just copy one byte at a
time.

This adds code to build zImage.coff and/or zImage.initrd.coff when
CONFIG_PPC32 and CONFIG_PPC_PMAC are defined. It also restructures
the OF client code and adds some workarounds for OF quirks on the
older machines.
