<title>powerpc/fault: Perform exception fixup in do_page_fault()</title>

Exception fixup doesn't require the heady full regs saving,
do it from do_page_fault() directly.

For that, split bad_page_fault() in two parts.

As bad_page_fault() can also be called from other places than
handle_page_fault(), it will still perform exception fixup and
fallback on __bad_page_fault().

handle_page_fault() directly calls __bad_page_fault() as the
exception fixup will now be done by do_page_fault()

440/460 variants and 470 variants are not compatible, no

Just use CONFIG_PPC_47x to decide what to build.

RFI macro is just there to add an infinite loop past
rfi in order to avoid prefetch on 40x in half a dozen
of places in entry_32 and head_32.

Those places are already full of #ifdefs, so just add a
few more to explicitely show those loops and remove RFI.

For book3s/32 and for booke, RFI is just an rfi.
Only 40x has a non trivial RFI.
CONFIG_PPC_RTAS is never selected by 40x platforms.

Make it more explicit by replacing RFI by rfi wherever possible.

PowerPC 601 has been retired.

Remove all associated specific code.

CPU_FTRS_PPC601 has CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE and CPU_FTR_COMMON.

CPU_FTR_COMMON is already present via other CPU_FTRS.
None of the remaining CPU selects CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE.

So CPU_FTRS_PPC601 can be removed from the possible features,
hence can be removed completely.

kprobe does not handle events happening in real mode.

The very last part of exception exits cannot support a trap.
Blacklist them from kprobe.

While we are at it, remove exc_exit_start symbol which is not
used to avoid having to blacklist it.

kprobe does not handle events happening in real mode.

As exception entry points are running with MMU disabled,
blacklist them.

The handling of TLF_NAPPING and TLF_SLEEPING is moved before the
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS which contains 'reenable_mmu' because from there
kprobe will be possible as the kernel will run with MMU enabled.
