<content type='text'>
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
  .cpuidle_register+0x2c/0x110
  .powernv_processor_idle_init+0x23c/0x2c0
  .do_one_initcall+0xd4/0x260
  .kernel_init_freeable+0x25c/0x33c
  .kernel_init+0x1c/0x120
  .ret_from_kernel_thread+0x58/0x7c

WSP is the last user of CONFIG_PPC_A2, so we remove that as well.

Although CONFIG_PPC_ICSWX still exists, it's no longer selectable for
any Book3E platform, so we can remove the code in mmu-book3e.h that
depended on it.

The Vector Crypto category instructions are supported by current POWER8
chips, advertise them to userspace using a specific bit to properly
differentiate with chips of the same architecture level that might not
have them.

Some power8 revisions have a hardware bug where we can lose a
Performance Monitor (PMU) exception under certain circumstances.

We will be adding a workaround for this case, see the next commit for
details. The observed behaviour is that writing PMAO doesn't cause an
exception as we would expect, hence the name of the feature.

This patch handles the memory errors on power8. If we get a machine check
exception due to SLB or TLB errors, then flush SLBs/TLBs and reload SLBs to
recover.

If we get a machine check exception due to SLB or TLB errors, then flush
SLBs/TLBs and reload SLBs to recover. We do this in real mode before turning
on MMU. Otherwise we would run into nested machine checks.

If we get a machine check when we are in guest, then just flush the
SLBs and continue. This patch handles errors for power7. The next
patch will handle errors for power8

This patch introduces flush_tlb operation in cpu_spec structure. This will
help us to invoke appropriate CPU-side flush tlb routine. This patch
adds the foundation to invoke CPU specific flush routine for respective
architectures. Currently this patch introduce flush_tlb for p7 and p8.
