We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.

Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).

So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

There is little enough differences now.

mpe: Add a/p/k/setup.h to contain the prototypes and empty versions of
functions we need, rather than using weak functions. Add a few other
empty versions to avoid as many #ifdefs as possible in the code.

Anything in there will be overwritten, so it helps catching nasty
bugs if we check that it's indeed full of NULL's before we do so.

The code in machine_restart/power_off/halt() includes #ifdefs around
calls to smp_send_stop(), however these are not required as

CONFIG_SMP=n builds.

<title>powerpc: Convert power off logic to pm_power_off</title>

<id>9178ba294b6839eeff1a91bed95515d783f3ee6c</id>
<content type='text'>
The generic Linux framework to power off the machine is a function pointer
called pm_power_off. The trick about this pointer is that device drivers can
potentially implement it rather than board files.

Today on powerpc we set pm_power_off to invoke our generic full machine power
off logic which then calls ppc_md.power_off to invoke machine specific power
off.

However, when we want to add a power off GPIO via the "gpio-poweroff" driver,
this card house falls apart. That driver only registers itself if pm_power_off
is NULL to ensure it doesn't override board specific logic. However, since we
always set pm_power_off to the generic power off logic (which will just not
power off the machine if no ppc_md.power_off call is implemented), we can't
implement power off via the generic GPIO power off driver.

To fix this up, let's get rid of the ppc_md.power_off logic and just always use
pm_power_off as was intended. Then individual drivers such as the GPIO power off
driver can implement power off logic via that function pointer.

With this patch set applied and a few patches on top of QEMU that implement a
power off GPIO on the virt e500 machine, I can successfully turn off my virtual
machine after halt.
