d1405b8698 [PATCH] powerpc: Add OF address parsing code (#2)
Parsing addresses extracted from Open Firmware isn't a simple matter. We
have various bits of code that try to do it in various place, including
some heuristics in prom.c that pre-parse addresses at boot and fill
device-nodes "addrs", but those are dodgy at best and I want to
deprecate them. So this patch introduces a new set of routines that
should be capable of parsing most types of addresses and translating
them into CPU physical addresses. It currently works for things on PCI
busses and ISA busses and should work on "standard" busses like the root
bus or the MacIO bus that don't put funky flags in addresses. If you
have other bus types that do use funky flags, you'll have to add new bus
type translators, which is fairly easy.

cbf52afdc0 [PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepages
On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so
between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed.
Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache
clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and
it being mapped into userspace for execute.  We were not doing this
for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation.

We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying
the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page
in question.

Tested on G5.

047ea78465 powerpc: Trivially merge several headers from asm-ppc64 to asm-powerpc
For these, I have just done the lame-o merge where the file ends up
looking like:

	#ifndef CONFIG_PPC64
	#include <asm-ppc/foo.h>
	#else
	... contents from asm-ppc64/foo.h
	#endif

so nothing has changed, really, except that we reduce include/asm-ppc64
a bit more.
