<content type='text'>
Now that we never set a cpu above nr_cpu_ids possible we can
limit our initial paca allocation to nr_cpu_ids.  We can then
clamp the number of cpus in platforms/iseries/setup.c.

<title>powerpc: In HV mode, use HSPRG0 for PACA</title>

When running in Hypervisor mode (arch 2.06 or later), we store the PACA
in HSPRG0 instead of SPRG1. The architecture specifies that SPRGs may be
lost during a "nap" power management operation (though they aren't
currently on POWER7) and this enables use of SPRG1 by KVM guests.

<title>powerpc/iseries: Fix early init access to lppaca</title>

<content type='text'>
The combination of commit

8154c5d22d91cd16bd9985b0638c8957e4688d0e and
93c22703efa72c7527dbd586d1951c1f4a85fd70

Broke boot on iSeries.

The problem is that iSeries very early boot code, which generates
the device-tree and runs before our normal early initializations
does need access the lppaca's very early, before the PACA array is
initialized, and in fact even before the boot PACA has been
initialized (it contains all 0's at this stage).

However, the first patch above makes that code use the new
llpaca_of(cpu) accessor, which itself is changed by the second patch to
use the PACA array.

We fix that by reverting iSeries to directly dereferencing the array. In
addition, we fix all iterators in the iSeries code to always skip CPU
whose number is above 63 which is the maximum size of that array and
the maximum number of supported CPUs on these machines.

Additionally, we make sure the boot_paca is properly initialized
in our early startup code.

<title>powerpc: Dynamically allocate most lppaca structs</title>

<id>93c22703efa72c7527dbd586d1951c1f4a85fd70</id>
<content type='text'>
This arranges for the lppaca structs for most cpus to be dynamically
allocated in the same manner as the paca structs.  If we don't include
support for legacy iSeries, only the first lppaca is statically
allocated; the rest are dynamically allocated.  If we include legacy
iSeries support, then we statically allocate the first 64 lppaca
structs, since the iSeries hypervisor requires that the lppaca
structs be present in the data section of the kernel image, but
legacy iSeries supports at most 64 cpus.

With CONFIG_NR_CPUS, the kernel image size for a typical pSeries config
went from:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
9524478 4734564 8469944 22728986        15ad11a ../test-1024/vmlinux

to:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
9524482 3751508 8469944 21745934        14bd10e ../test-1024/vmlinux

a reduction of 983052 bytes overall.

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.

We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.
