Gcc 4.5 is now generating out of line register save and restore
in the function prefix and postfix when we use -Os.

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.

The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.

The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.

The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

Impact: fix for PowerPC 32 code

There were some early init code that was not safe for static
ftrace to boot on my PowerBook. This code must only use relative
addressing, and static mcount performs a compare of the
ftrace_trace_function pointer, and gets that with an absolute address.
In the early init boot up code, this will cause a fault.

This patch removes tracing from the files containing the offending
functions.

Now that arch/ppc is gone and CONFIG_PPC_MERGE is always set, remove
the dead code associated with !CONFIG_PPC_MERGE from arch/powerpc
and include/asm-powerpc.

This commit adds tests of the feature fixup code, they are run during
boot if CONFIG_FTR_FIXUP_SELFTEST=y. Some of the tests manually invoke
the patching routines to check their behaviour, and others use the
macros and so are patched during the normal patching done during boot.

Because we have two sets of macros with different names, we use a macro
to generate the test of the macros, very niiiice.

The logic to patch CPU feature sections lives in cputable.c, but these days
it's used for CPU features as well as firmware features.  Move it into
it's own file for neatness and as preparation for some additions.

While we're moving the code, we pull the loop body logic into a separate
routine, and remove a comment which doesn't apply anymore.

We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because
they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add
some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to
be inlined.

While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended
caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something
different.

GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register
saves/restores based on:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01678.html

This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.  To fix
this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down
for our needs (integer only).

Additionally, we have to link this code into each module.  The other
solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the
trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines.

Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the
out-of-line save/restore functions.

This fixes a few more miscellaneous compile problems with ARCH=ppc.

1. Don't compile devres.c on ARCH=ppc, it doesn't have ioremap_flags.
2. Include <asm/irq.h> in setup.c for the __DO_IRQ_CANON definition.
3. Include <linux/proc_fs.h> in residual.c for the
   definition of create_proc_read_entry.
4. Fix xchg_ptr to be a static inline to eliminate a compiler warning.
