The write() prototype expects a const char * as argument so declare
it as such.

Fixes the following build problem:

arch/mips/sibyte/common/cfe_console.c:23:5: error: passing argument 2 of
'cfe_write' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror]
arch/mips/sibyte/common/cfe_console.c:34:4: error: passing argument 2 of
'cfe_write' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror]

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

With the upcoming merge of the ARC architecture there is a small likelyhood
of conflicting use for the CONFIG_ARC config symbol.  Rename it to
CONFIG_FW_ARC.  Also rename CONFIG_ARC32 to CONFIG_FW_ARC32, CONFIG_ARC64
to CONFIG_FW_ARC64.

For consistence also rename CONFIG_SNIPROM to CONFIG_FW_SNIPROM and
CONFIG_CFE to CONFIG_FW_CFE.

Using a cross-compiler to fix another issue, the following build error
occurred for mips defconfig:

  arch/mips/fw/arc/misc.c: In function 'ArcHalt':
  arch/mips/fw/arc/misc.c:25:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'local_irq_disable'

Fix it up by including irqflags.h.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

With bug.h currently living right in linux/kernel.h there
are files that use BUG_ON and friends but are not including
the header explicitly.  Fix them up so we can remove the
presence in kernel.h file.

Fast-forwarded to current state of Linus' tree as there are patches to be
applied for files that didn't exist on the old branch.
