We now allow interrupt stacks anywhere in the first segment which can be
256M or 1TB. Fix the comment.

The commit 5e3d20a remove bkl from startup code so setup_arch() it isn't called
with bkl held anymore. Update the comment on top of that function.
Fix also a typo.

The 'smt_enabled=X' boot option does not handle values of X > 2.
For Power 7 processors with smt modes of 0,1,2,3, and 4 this does
not work.  This patch allows the smt_enabled option to be set to
any value limited to a max equal to the number of threads per
core.

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.

We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

With dynamic PACAs, the kexecing CPU's PACA won't lie within the kernel
static data and there is a chance that something may stomp it when preparing
to kexec.  This patch switches this final CPU to a static PACA just before
we pull the switch.

and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.

also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/

Now we dynamically allocate the paca array, it takes an extra load
whenever we want to access another cpu's paca. One place we do that a lot
is per cpu variables. A simple example:

DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, vara);
unsigned long test4(int cpu)
{
	return per_cpu(vara, cpu);
}

This takes 4 loads, 5 if you include the actual load of the per cpu variable:

    ld r11,-32760(r30)  # load address of paca pointer
    ld r9,-32768(r30)   # load link address of percpu variable
    sldi r3,r29,9       # get offset into paca (each entry is 512 bytes)
    ld r0,0(r11)        # load paca pointer
    add r3,r0,r3        # paca + offset
    ld r11,64(r3)       # load paca[cpu].data_offset

    ldx r3,r9,r11       # load per cpu variable

If we remove the ppc64 specific per_cpu_offset(), we get the generic one
which indexes into a statically allocated array. This removes one load and
one add:

    ld r11,-32760(r30)  # load address of __per_cpu_offset
    ld r9,-32768(r30)   # load link address of percpu variable
    sldi r3,r29,3       # get offset into __per_cpu_offset (each entry 8 bytes)
    ldx r11,r11,r3      # load __per_cpu_offset[cpu]

    ldx r3,r9,r11       # load per cpu variable

Having all the offsets in one array also helps when iterating over a per cpu
variable across a number of cpus, such as in the scheduler. Before we would
need to load one paca cacheline when calculating each per cpu offset. Now we
have 16 (128 / sizeof(long)) per cpu offsets in each cacheline.

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.
