745681a524 [POWERPC] Remove redundant display of free swap space in show_mem()
show_mem() has no need to print the amount of free swap space manually
because show_free_areas() does this already and is called by the
former.

The two outputs only differ in text formatting:

  printk("Free swap  = %lukB\n", ...);
  printk("Free swap:       %6ldkB\n", ...);

b163a256da [POWERPC] PS3: Split device setup for static vs. dynamic devices
Split the device setup code in ps3_register_repository_device() in two
routines:
  1. ps3_setup_static_device(), to handle the setup of static devices in the
     PS3 repository, which can be __init,
  2. ps3_setup_dynamic_device(), to handle the setup of storage devices that
     may appear later in the PS3 repository.

This fixes a few section mismatch warnings.

ecc6cd73b7 [POWERPC] Start removing linux,network-index in favour of aliases
This patch alters the bootwrapper for a number of machines (roubhly
all 4xx based cuboot or treeboot platforms) to use aliases instead of
the linux,network-index hack to work out which MAC address to attach
to which ethernet device node.

The now obsolete linux,network-index properties are removed from the
corresponding device trees.  This won't break backwards compatiblity,
because in cases where this fixup code is relevant, the device tree is
part of the kernel image.

The references to linux,network-index are removed from
booting-without-of.txt.  Not only is it now deprecated, but as a hack
applicable only when the device tree blob and fixup code were in the
same image, this property never belonged in booting-without-of.txt
which describes the interface between the kernel and firmware or
bootloaders which produce a device tree.  By the time the device tree
reaches the kernel, all the MAC addresses must be fully filled in.

fd35cff8d2 [POWERPC] pseries: phyp dump: Tracking memory range freed
This tracks the size freed.  For now it does a simple rudimentary
calculation of the ranges freed.  The idea is to keep it simple at the
external shell script level and send in large chunks for now.

a9c508dae1 [POWERPC] pseries: phyp dump: Invalidate and print dump areas
This adds routines to
a. invalidate dump
b. calculate region that is reserved and needs to be freed.  This is
   exported through sysfs interface.

Unregister has been removed for now as it wasn't being used.

d5a29c7a36 [POWERPC] pseries: phyp dump: Use sysfs to release reserved mem
Check to see if there actually is data from a previously
crashed kernel waiting.  If so, allow user-space tools to
grab the data (by reading /proc/kcore).  When user-space
finishes dumping a section, it must release that memory
by writing to sysfs. For example,

  echo "0x40000000 0x10000000" > /sys/kernel/release_region

will release 256MB starting at the 1GB.  The released memory
becomes free for general use.
