This adds some debug output to our MMU hash code to print out some
useful debug data if the hypervisor refuses the insertion (which
should normally never happen).

The KEXEC_*_MEMORY_LIMITs are inclusive addresses.  We define them as
2Gs as that is what we allow mapping via TLBs.  However, this should be
2G - 1 to be inclusive, otherwise if we have &gt;2G of memory in a system
we fail to boot properly via kexec.

<title>powerpc/cpm: Reintroduce global spi_pram struct (fixes build issue)</title>

spi_t was removed in commit 644b2a680ccc51a9ec4d6beb12e9d47d2dee98e2
("powerpc/cpm: Remove SPI defines and spi structs"), the commit assumed
that spi_t isn't used anywhere outside of the spi_mpc8xxx driver. But
it appears that the struct is needed for micropatch code. So, let's
reintroduce the struct.

Fixes the following build issue:

    CC      arch/powerpc/sysdev/micropatch.o
  micropatch.c: In function 'cpm_load_patch':
  micropatch.c:629: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token
  micropatch.c:629: error: 'spp' undeclared (first use in this function)
  micropatch.c:629: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
  micropatch.c:629: error: for each function it appears in.)

Irq stacks provide an essential protection from stack overflows through
external interrupts, at the cost of two additionals stacks per CPU.

Enable them unconditionally to simplify the kernel build and prevent
people from accidentally disabling them.

<title>powerpc: Move kdump default base address to 64MB on 64bit</title>

<id>b5416ca9f824d3deb1e25a32683100360e104b72</id>
<content type='text'>
We are seeing boot fails on some System p machines when using the kdump
crashkernel= boot option. The default kdump base address is 32MB, so if we
reserve 256MB for kdump then we reserve all of the RMO except the first 32MB.

We really want kdump to reserve some memory in the RMO and most of it
elsewhere but that will require more significant changes. For now we can shift
the default base address to 64MB when CONFIG_PPC64 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE are
set. This isn't quite correct since what we really care about is the kdump
kernel is relocatable, but we already make the assumption that base kernel
and kdump kernel have the same CONFIG_RELOCATABLE setting, eg:

#ifndef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
        if (crashk_res.start != KDUMP_KERNELBASE)
                printk("Crash kernel location must be 0x%x\n",
                                KDUMP_KERNELBASE);
...

RTAS is instantiated towards the top of our RMO, so if we were to go any
higher we risk not having enough RMO memory for the kdump kernel on boxes
with a 128MB RMO.
