Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here is a handful of powerpc fixes for 3.16.  They are all pretty
  simple and self contained and should still make this release"

* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
  powerpc: use _GLOBAL_TOC for memmove
  powerpc/pseries: dynamically added OF nodes need to call of_node_init
  powerpc: subpage_protect: Increase the array size to take care of 64TB
  powerpc: Fix bugs in emulate_step()
  powerpc: Disable doorbells on Power8 DD1.x

We now support TASK_SIZE of 16TB, hence the array should be 8.

Fixes the below crash:

These processors do not currently support doorbell IPIs, so remove them
from the feature list if we are at DD 1.xx for the 0x004d part.

This fixes a regression caused by d4e58e5928f8 (powerpc/powernv: Enable
POWER8 doorbell IPIs). With that patch the kernel would hang at boot
when calling smp_call_function_many, as the doorbell would not be
received by the target CPUs:

  .smp_call_function_many+0x2bc/0x3c0 (unreliable)
  .on_each_cpu_mask+0x30/0x100
  .cpuidle_register_driver+0x158/0x1a0

Instead of separate bits for every POWER8 PMU feature, have a single one
for v2.07 of the architecture.

This saves us adding a MMCR2 define for a future patch.

In fb5a515704d7 "powerpc: Remove platforms/wsp and associated pieces",
we removed the last user of MMU_FTRS_A2. So remove it.

MMU_FTRS_A2 was the last user of MMU_FTR_TYPE_3E, so remove it also.
This leaves some unreachable code in mmu_context_nohash.c, so remove
that also.

defined for 64bit targets though. Define it for ppc32 as well, fixing the build

With guests supporting Multiple page size per segment (MPSS),
hpte_page_size returns the actual page size used. Add a new function to
return base page size and use that to compare against the the page size
calculated from SLB. Without this patch a hpte lookup can fail since
we are comparing wrong page size in kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Remove OPAL v1 takeover</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit 27f4488872d9 "Add OPAL takeover from PowerVM" we added support
for "takeover" on OPAL v1 machines.

This was a mode of operation where we would boot under pHyp, and query
for the presence of OPAL. If detected we would then do a special
sequence to take over the machine, and the kernel would end up running
in hypervisor mode.

OPAL v1 was never a supported product, and was never shipped outside
IBM. As far as we know no one is still using it.

Newer versions of OPAL do not use the takeover mechanism. Although the
query for OPAL should be harmless on machines with newer OPAL, we have
seen a machine where it causes a crash in Open Firmware.

The code in early_init_devtree() to copy boot_command_line into cmd_line
was added in commit 817c21ad9a1f "Get kernel command line accross OPAL
takeover", and AFAIK is only used by takeover, so should also be
removed.
