irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map
rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's
affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being
just cpu_online_map). The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always
fail since the two masks are not the same. So the CPU chosen is the first CPU
in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0.
That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0...
Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion
is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2. Also, the irq_rover in
irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different
processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released. This may lead
to an unbalanced distribution over time.
A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance
interrupt distribution. For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different
cores first, and then to strands within a core.
The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt
distribution on a T2. The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220
boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.

o sparc32 files with identical names to sparc64 renamed to <name>_32.S
o introduced a few Kconfig helpers to simplify Makefile logic
o refactored Makefile to prepare for unification
- use obj-$(CONFIG_SPARC32) for sparc32 specific files
- use <name>_$(BITS) for files where sparc64 has a _64 variant
- sparc64 directly include a few files where sparc32 builds them,
refer to these files directly (no BITS)
- sneaked in -Werror as used by sparc64

While doing some easy cleanups on the sparc code I noticed that the
CONFIG_SUN4 code seems to be worse than the rest - there were some
"I don't know how it should work, but the current code definitely cannot
work." places.
And while I have seen people running Linux on machines like a
SPARCstation 5 a few years ago I don't recall having seen sun4
machines, even less ones running Linux.

Current limitations:
1) On SMP single stepping has some fundamental issues,
shared with other sw single-step architectures such
as mips and arm.
2) On 32-bit sparc we don't support SMP kgdb yet. That
requires some reworking of the IPI mechanisms and
infrastructure on that platform.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep

Just like in changeset a3f9985843
("[SPARC64]: Move kernel unaligned trap handlers into assembler
file.") we have to move the assembler bits into a seperate
asm file because as far as the compiler is concerned
these inline bits we're doing in unaligned.c are unreachable.

* Split the implementation-agnostic stuff in separate files.
* Make sure that targets using non-default request_irq() pull
kernel/irq/devres.o
* Introduce new symbols (HAS_IOPORT and HAS_IOMEM) defaulting to positive;
allow architectures to turn them off (we needed these symbols anyway for
dependencies of quite a few drivers).
* protect the ioport-related parts of lib/devres.o with CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT.

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!
