Pull parisc updates from Helge Deller:
 "Lots of small fixes and enhancements, most noteably:

   - Many TLB and cache flush optimizations (Dave)

   - Fixed HPMC/crash handler on 64-bit kernel (Dave and myself)

   - Added alternative infrastructre. The kernel now live-patches itself
     for various situations, e.g. replace SMP code when running on one
     CPU only or drop cache flushes when system has no cache installed.

   - vmlinuz now contains a full copy of the compressed vmlinux file.
     This simplifies debugging the currently booted kernel.

   - Unused driver removal (Christoph)

   - Reduced warnings of Dino PCI bridge when running in qemu

   - Removed gcc version check (Masahiro)"

<content type='text'>
This patch adds the necessary code to patch a running kernel at runtime
to improve performance.

The current implementation offers a few optimizations variants:

- When running a SMP kernel on a single UP processor, unwanted assembler
  statements like locking functions are overwritten with NOPs. When
  multiple instructions shall be skipped, one branch instruction is used
  instead of multiple nop instructions.

- In the UP case, some pdtlb and pitlb instructions are patched to
  become pdtlb,l and pitlb,l which only flushes the CPU-local tlb
  entries instead of broadcasting the flush to other CPUs in the system
  and thus may improve performance.

- fic and fdc instructions are skipped if no I- or D-caches are
  installed.  This should speed up qemu emulation and cacheless systems.

- If no cache coherence is needed for IO operations, the relevant fdc
  and sync instructions in the sba and ccio drivers are replaced by
  nops.

- On systems which share I- and D-TLBs and thus don't have a seperate
  instruction TLB, the pitlb instruction is replaced by a nop.

Live-patching is done early in the boot process, just after having run
the system inventory. No drivers are running and thus no external
interrupts should arrive. So the hope is that no TLB exceptions will
occur during the patching. If this turns out to be wrong we will
probably need to do the patching in real-mode.

All the cache maintainance is already stubbed out when not enabled,
but merging the two allows us to nicely handle the case where
cache maintainance is required for some devices, but not others.

Switch to the generic noncoherent direct mapping implementation.

Fix sync_single_for_cpu to do skip the cache flush unless the transfer
is to the device to match the more tested unmap_single path which should
have the same cache coherency implications.

The only difference is that pcxl supports dma coherent allocations, while
pcx only supports non-consistent allocations and otherwise fails.

But dma_alloc* is not in the fast path, and merging these two allows an
easy migration path to the generic dma-noncoherent implementation, so
do it.

This was used by the ide, scsi and networking code in the past to
determine if they should bounce payloads.  Now that the dma mapping
always have to support dma to all physical memory (thanks to swiotlb
for non-iommu systems) there is no need to this crude hack any more.

PA8800/PA8900 CPUs and enhanced output in /proc/cpuinfo, e.g.
lscpu now reports on a single-socket, dual-core machine:

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/clock.h&gt; file that just
