There is no need for yet another copy of the command line, just
use boot_command_line like everyone else.

Move the definition to setup-common.c and set the init value
to -1 on both 32 and 64-bit (it was 0 on 64-bit).

Additionally add a check to prom.c to garantee that the init
value has been udpated after the DT scan.

<title>powerpc/ppc32: Fix the bug in the init of non-base exception stack for UP</title>

We would allocate one specific exception stack for each kind of
non-base exceptions for every CPU. For ppc32 the CPU hard ID is
used as the subscript to get the specific exception stack for
one CPU. But for an UP kernel, there is only one element in the
each kind of exception stack array. We would get stuck if the
CPU hard ID is not equal to '0'. So in this case we should use the
subscript '0' no matter what the CPU hard ID is.

Default CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT to 180 seconds on powerpc. The
pSeries continue to set the timeout to 10 seconds at run-time.

Thus, there's a small window where we don't have the correct
value on pSeries, but if this is only run-time discoverable we
don't have a better option. In any case, if the user changes the
default setting of 180 seconds, we honor that user setting.

<title>powerpc: Move local setup.h declarations to arch includes</title>

Move the few declarations from arch/powerpc/kernel/setup.h
into arch/powerpc/include/asm/setup.h.  This resolves a
sparse warning for arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c which defines
do_init_bootmem() but can't include the setup.h header
in the prior path.

Resolves:
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:998:13:
        warning: symbol 'do_init_bootmem' was not declared.
                 Should it be static?

At console init, when the kernel tries to flush the log buffer
the ePAPR byte-channel based console write fails silently,
losing the buffered messages.
This happens because The ePAPR para-virtualization init isn't
done early enough so that the hcall instruction to be set,
causing the byte-channel write hcall to be a nop.
To fix, change the ePAPR para-virt init to use early device
tree functions and move it in early init.

setup-common.c, which will be shared by 32-bit and 64-bit.

Commit ae3a197e (Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC) broke build of
assembly files when CONFIG_BOOKE_WDT is enabled as follows:

  AS      arch/powerpc/lib/string.o
/home/baruch/git/stable/arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg_booke.h: Assembler messages:
/home/baruch/git/stable/arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg_booke.h:19: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `extern'
/home/baruch/git/stable/arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg_booke.h:20: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `extern'

Since setup_32.c is the only user of the booke_wdt configuration variables, move
the declarations there.

kdump fails because we try to execute an HV only instruction. Feature
fixups are being applied after we copy the exception vectors down to 0
so they miss out on any updates.

We have always had this issue but it only became critical in v3.0
when we added CFAR support (breaks POWER5) and v3.1 when we added
POWERNV (breaks everyone).
