This switches the CONFIG_PPC64 support for 32-bit ELF to use the
generic fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c implementation instead of our own
binfmt_elf32.c.  Since so much is the same between 32/64, there is
only one macro we have to define to make the generic support work out
of the box.

This provides the task_user_regset_view entry point and support for
all the native-mode (64 on CONFIG_PPC64, 32 on CONFIG_PPC32) thread
register state.  This will enable generic machine-independent code to
access user-mode threads' registers for debugging and dumping.

Do just enough to move the RapidIO support code for 85xx over from arch/ppc
into arch/powerpc and make it still build.

Also check that __NR_syscalls has been updated appropriately.

Hopefully this will catch any out of order additions to the

<title>[POWERPC] Stop the TOC overflowing for large builds</title>

We were using -mno-minimal-toc on everything in arch/powerpc/kernel,
which means that all the functions in there were putting all their
TOC entries in the top-level TOC, and it was overflowing on an
allyesconfig build.  For various reasons, prom_init.c does need
-mno-minimal-toc, but the other .c files in there can use sub-TOCs
quite happily.  This change is sufficient for now to stop the TOC
overflowing; other directories under arch/powerpc also use
-mno-minimal-toc and could also be changed later if necessary.

Lmbench runs with and without this patch showed no significant speed
differences.

<title>[POWERPC] 8xx: Move softemu8xx.c from arch/ppc</title>

<content type='text'>
Previously, Soft_emulate_8xx was called with no implementation, resulting in
build failures whenever building 8xx without math emulation.  The
implementation is copied from arch/ppc to resolve this issue.

However, this sort of minimal emulation is not a very good idea other than
for compatibility with existing userspaces, as it's less efficient than
soft-float and can mislead users into believing they have soft-float.  Thus,
it is made a configurable option, off by default.

<title>[PPC] Use cpu setup routines from cpu_setup_44x.S for ARCH=ppc</title>

Commit 8112753bb2c0045398c89d0647792b39805f6d40 made 44x in
ARCH=powerpc builds use cpu setup routines in cpu_setup_44x.S,
but didn't make a similar change for ARCH=ppc, and consequently
the ARCH=ppc builds fail with undefined symbols (since both use
the same cputable.c).

This fixes it by including cpu_setup_44x.S in the ARCH=ppc builds,
and by taking out the now-redundant FPU initialization in
arch/ppc/kernel/head_44x.S.

This adds cpu_setup functionality for ppc44x platform.
Low level cpu-spefic initialization routines should be
placed in cpu_setup_44x.S and a callback should be
added to cputable. The cpu_setup is invoked
by identify_cpu() function at early init.

Linus made this suggestion for the x86 merge and this starts the process

CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32 implies CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU.
