The ASM version of hash computation function was truncating the upper bit.
Make the ASM version similar to hpt_hash function. Remove masking vsid bits.
Without this patch, we observed hang during bootup due to not satisfying page
fault request correctly. The fault handler used wrong hash values to update
the HPTE. Hence we kept looping with page fault.

hash_page(ea=000001003e260008, access=203, trap=300 ip=3fff91787134 dsisr 42000000
The computed value of hash 000000000f22f390
update: avpnv=4003e46054003e00, hash=000000000722f390, f=80000006, psize: 2 ...

BenH: The over-masking has been there for ever but only hurts with the
new 64T support introduced in 3.7

<title>powerpc: Max next_tb to prevent from replaying timer interrupt</title>

With lazy interrupt, we always call __check_irq_replaysome with
decrementers_next_tb to check if we need to replay timer interrupt.
So in hotplug case we also need to set decrementers_next_tb as MAX
to make sure __check_irq_replay don't replay timer interrupt
when return as we expect, otherwise we'll trap here infinitely.

In preempt case current arch_local_irq_restore() from
preempt_schedule_irq() may enable hard interrupt but we really
should disable interrupts when we return from the interrupt,
and so that we don't get interrupted after loading SRR0/1.

The calculation for the left shift of the mask OPROFILE_PM_PMCSEL_MSK has an
error.  The calculation is should be to shift left by (max_cntrs - cntr) times
the width of the pmsel field width.  However, the #define OPROFILE_MAX_PMC_NUM
was used instead of OPROFILE_PMSEL_FIELD_WIDTH.  This patch fixes the
calculation.

commit f96972f2dc "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in
kernel_restart()"

added a call to disable_nonboot_cpus() on kernel_restart(), which tries
to shutdown all the CPUs except the first one. The issue with the PA
Semi, is that it does not support CPU hotplug.

When the call is made to __cpu_down(), it calls the notifiers
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, and then tries to take the CPU down.

One of the notifiers to the CPU hotplug code, is the cpufreq. The
DOWN_PREPARE will call __cpufreq_remove_dev() which calls
cpufreq_driver-&gt;exit. The PA Semi exit handler unmaps regions of I/O
that is used by an interrupt that goes off constantly
(system_reset_common, but it goes off during normal system operations
too). I'm not sure exactly what this interrupt does.

Running a simple function trace, you can see it goes off quite a bit:

# tracer: function
#
#           TASK-PID    CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
#              | |       |          |         |

When the region is unmapped, the system crashes with:
