Upstream changes to the way PHB resources are registered
broke the resource fixup for FSL boards.

We can no longer rely on the resource pointer array for the PHB's
pci_bus structure, so let's leave it alone and go straight for
the PHB resources instead. This also makes the code generally
more readable.

Add missing iounmap in error handling code, in a case where the function
already preforms iounmap on some other execution path.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
expression e;
statement S,S1;
int ret;
@@
e = \(ioremap\|ioremap_nocache\)(...)
... when != iounmap(e)
if (&lt;+...e...+&gt;) S
... when any
    when != iounmap(e)
*if (...)
   { ... when != iounmap(e)
     return ...; }
... when any
iounmap(e);
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.

The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
&lt;sfr@canb.auug.org.au&gt; who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

<title>powerpc/fsl: add MSI support for the Freescale hypervisor</title>

Add support for vmpic-msi nodes to the fsl_msi driver.  The MSI is
virtualized by the hypervisor, so the vmpic-msi does not contain a 'reg'
property.  Instead, the driver uses hcalls.

Add support for the "msi-address-64" property to the fsl_pci driver.
The Freescale hypervisor typically puts the virtualized MSIIR register
in the page after the end of DDR, so we extend the DDR ATMU to cover it.
Any other location for MSIIR is not supported, for now.

There is an issue on FSL-BookE 64-bit devices (P5020) in which PCIe
devices that are capable of doing 64-bit DMAs (like an Intel e1000) do
not function and crash the kernel if we have &gt;4G of memory in the system.

The reason is that the existing code only sets up one inbound window for
access to system memory across PCIe.  That window is limited to a 32-bit
address space.  So on systems we'll end up utilizing SWIOTLB for dma
mappings.  However SWIOTLB dma ops implement dma_alloc_coherent() as
dma_direct_alloc_coherent().  Thus we can end up with dma addresses that
are not accessible because of the inbound window limitation.

We could possibly set the SWIOTLB alloc_coherent op to
swiotlb_alloc_coherent() however that does not address the issue since
the swiotlb_alloc_coherent() will behave almost identical to
dma_direct_alloc_coherent() since the devices coherent_dma_mask will be
greater than any address allocated by swiotlb_alloc_coherent() and thus
we'll never bounce buffer it into a range that would be dma-able.

The easiest and best solution is to just make it so that a 64-bit
capable device is able to DMA to any internal system address.

We accomplish this by opening up a second inbound window that maps all
of memory above the internal SoC address width so we can set it up to
access all of the internal SoC address space if needed.

We than fixup the dma_ops and dma_offset for PCIe devices with a dma
mask greater than the maximum internal SoC address.
