Older machines with a PAT firmware (e.g. the rp5470) return their Page
Deallocation Table (PDT) info per cell via the PDC_PAT_MEM_PD_INFO PDC call.
This patch adds the necessary structures and wrappers to call firmware.

Add a firmware wrapper function, which asks PDC firmware for the DIMM slot of a
physical address. This is needed to show users which DIMM module needs
replacement in case a broken DIMM was encountered.

Commit c9c2877d08d9 ("parisc: Add Page Deallocation Table (PDT) support")
introduced the pdc_pat_mem_read_pd_pdt() firmware helper function, which
crashed the system because it trashed the stack if the
pdc_pat_mem_read_pd_retinfo struct was located on the stack (and which is
in size less than the required 32 64-bit values).

Fix it by using the pdc_result struct instead when calling firmware and copy
the return values back into the result struct when finished sucessfully.

While debugging this code I noticed that the pdc_type wasn't set correctly
either, so let's fix that too.

<content type='text'>
The firmare in most parisc machines maintains a Page Deallocation Table (PDT)
which holds a list of physical memory addresses where hardware detected memory
errors (single bit and double bit errors).

This patch adds the missing PDC firmware calls and the logic to read the PDT
from firmware, report all current PDT entries and exclude the reported bad
memory from being used by Linux.

<title>parisc: Enhance CPU detection code on PAT machines</title>

<id>637250cc8f5e2bfc5c3a96802d1d96b4987a1d62</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes the debug code which runs during the inventory scan on
machines with PAT firmware.

Additionally print out the relationship between the detected logical CPU
number and it's physical location and physical cpu number.
This leads to information which can be used to feed numa-structures in
the kernel in later patches. An example output is from my single-CPU (2
cores) C8000 machine is:

  Logical CPU #0 is physical cpu #0 at 0xffff0000ffff15, hpa 0xfffffffffe780000
  Logical CPU #1 is physical cpu #1 at 0xffff0000ffff15, hpa 0xfffffffffe781000

Dan Carpenter noticed that pdc_pat_io_pci_cfg_read() is problematic
because it's missing some break statements so it copies 4 bytes
regardless of whether you asked for only 1 or 2.

<title>parisc: delete __cpuinit usage from all users</title>

<content type='text'>
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the parisc uses of the __cpuinit macros.
