<title>[POWERPC] Fix oprofile support for e500 in arch/powerpc</title>

<id>dd6c89f686bdb2a5de72fab636fc839e5a0add6d</id>
<content type='text'>
Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in
the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor
code.

* Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450
  wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more
  self-contained.

* Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E.  The original
  cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that
  the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
  variables which represented the registers.  This was silly for
  e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
  all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
  cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
  with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
  on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
  model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument.  The
  argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.

* Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two
  arguments

This produces essentially the same code and will make the iSeries i/o
consolidation easier.

The count parameter is changed to long since that will produce the same
(better) code on 32 and 64 bit builds.

To compile kexec on 32-bit we need a few more bits and pieces. Rather
than add empty definitions, we can make crash.c work on 32-bit, with
only a couple of kludges.

There were some common functions (mainly i/o).

Also some small white space cleanups and remove a couple of small unused

<title>powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap mode</title>

<id>f39224a8c1828bdd327539da72a53d8a13595838</id>
<content type='text'>
We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
nap mode.  When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
started hanging when we put them into nap mode.  Changing to the
recommended sequence fixes that.

The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode.  Clearly we need some way
to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
decrementer, performance monitor) occurs.  Here we use a bit in
the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.

The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
there too.

This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
get trashed.
