Icswx is a PowerPC instruction to send data to a co-processor. On Book-S
processors the LPAR_ID and process ID (PID) of the owning process are
registered in the window context of the co-processor at initialization
time. When the icswx instruction is executed the L2 generates a cop-reg
transaction on PowerBus. The transaction has no address and the
processor does not perform an MMU access to authenticate the transaction.
The co-processor compares the LPAR_ID and the PID included in the
transaction and the LPAR_ID and PID held in the window context to
determine if the process is authorized to generate the transaction.
The OS needs to assign a 16-bit PID for the process. This cop-PID needs
to be updated during context switch. The cop-PID needs to be destroyed
when the context is destroyed.

Some of the 64bit PPC CPU features are MMU-related, so this patch moves
them to MMU_FTR_ bits. All cpu_has_feature()-style tests are moved to
mmu_has_feature(), and seven feature bits are freed as a result.

We need to reserve a context from KVM to make sure we have our own
segment space. While we did that split for Book3S_64 already, 32 bit
is still outstanding.
So let's split it now.

For KVM we need to allocate a new context id, but don't really care about
all the mm context around it.
So let's split the alloc and destroy functions for the context id, so we can
grab one without allocating an mm context.

This adds the TLB miss handler assembly, the low level TLB flush routines
along with the necessary hook for dealing with our virtual page tables
or indirect TLB entries that need to be flushes when PTE pages are freed.
There is currently no support for hugetlbfs

Our 64-bit hash context handling has no init function, but 64-bit Book3E
will use the common mmu_context_nohash.c code which does, so define an
empty inline mmu_context_init() for 64-bit server and call it from
our 64-bit setup_arch()

Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask.
It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

This splits the mmu_context handling between 32-bit hash based
processors, 64-bit hash based processors and everybody else. This is
preliminary work for adding SMP support for BookE processors.

The 32-bit hash code didn't need it so far so we don't update
mm->cpu_vm_mask on context switch. This however will break when we
merge the RCU based page table freeing patch and other upcoming 32-bit
embedded SMP work, so this adds the update.

When we fork, init_new_context() improperly resets the vdso_base
of the new context to 0. That means that the new process loses
access to the vdso for signal trampolines.
The initialization should be unnecessary anyway as the context
on a fresh mm should be 0 in the first place and binfmt_elf
will initialize that value for a newly loaded process.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
