<content type='text'>
The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a
Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing
actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there),
or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single
PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual
address space.

This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically
locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole
in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that
area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes
from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but
grew its own fixes.

Make FIXADDR_TOP a compile time constant and cleanup a
couple of definitions relative to the layout of the kernel
address space on ppc32. We also print out that layout at
boot time for debugging purposes.

This is a pre-requisite for properly fixing non-coherent
DMA allocactions.

Commit 4fc665b88a79a45bae8bbf3a05563c27c7337c3d "powerpc: Merge 32 and
64-bit dma code" made changes to the PCI initialisation code that added
an assignment to archdata.dma_data but only for 32 bit code.  Commit
7eef440a545c7f812ed10b49d4a10a351df9cad6 "powerpc/pci: Cosmetic cleanups
of pci-common.c" removed the conditional compilation.  Unfortunately,
the iSeries code setup the archdata.dma_data before that assignment was
done - effectively overwriting the dma_data with NULL.

Fix this up by moving the iSeries setup of dma_data into a
pci_dma_dev_setup callback.

Some drivers using of_register_platform_driver() wrapper break on sparc
because the wrapper isn't in the header file.  This patch moves it from
Microblaze and PowerPC implementations and makes it common code.

Fixes this sparc64 allmodconfig build error (at least):

drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c: In function `gpio_led_init':
drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c:295: error: implicit declaration of function `of_register_platform_driver'

<content type='text'>
On ppc64 we implemented elf_read_implies_exec() for 32-bit binaries
because old toolchains had bugs where they didn't mark program
segments executable that needed to be.  For some reason we didn't do
this on ppc32 builds.  This hadn't been an issue until commit 8d30c14c
("powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)"), which had as a side
effect that we are now enforcing execute permissions to some extent on
32-bit 4xx and Book E processors.

This fixes it by defining elf_read_implies_exec on 32-bit to turn on
the read-implies-exec behaviour on programs that are sufficiently old
that they don't have a PT_GNU_STACK program header.
