We cannot do those initializations from apply_feature_fixups() as
this function runs in a very restricted environment on 32-bit where
the kernel isn't running at its linked address and the PTRRELOC()
macro must be used for any global accesss.

Instead, split them into a separtate steup_feature_keys() function
which is called in a more suitable spot on ppc32.

<title>powerpc/mm: Convert early cpu/mmu feature check to use the new helpers</title>

This switches early feature checks to use the non static key variant of
the function. In later patches we will be switching cpu_has_feature()
and mmu_has_feature() to use static keys and we can use them only after
static key/jump label is initialized. Any check for feature before jump
label init should be done using this new helper.

<title>powerpc/64: Do feature patching before MMU init</title>

Up until now we needed to do the MMU init before feature patching,
because part of the MMU init was scanning the device tree and setting
and/or clearing some MMU feature bits.

Now that we have split that MMU feature modification out into routines
called from early_init_devtree() (called earlier) we can now do feature
patching before calling MMU init.

The advantage of this is it means the remainder of the MMU init runs
with the final set of features which will apply for the rest of the life
of the system. This means we don't have to special case anything called
from MMU init to deal with a changing set of feature bits.

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.

Do it right after probe_machine() since it's about testing ppc_md,
and put the test in the common code.

It makes more sense to do it before intializing xmon() as xmon might
use the info in there. We do want to register the console early
though in case we want some functioning printk's in the cpu map setup.
