All the maintained platforms are now in arch/powerpc, so the old
arch/ppc stuff can now go away.

This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree.  I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

<title>[PATCH] ppc32: Put cache flush routines back into .relocate_code section</title>

In 2.6.14, we had the following definition of _GLOBAL() in
include/asm-ppc/processor.h:

#define _GLOBAL(n)\
        .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
        .globl n;\
n:

In 2.6.15, as part of the great powerpc merge, we moved this definition to
include/asm-powerpc/ppc_asm.h, where it appears (to 32-bit code) as:

#define _GLOBAL(n)      \
        .text;          \
        .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
        .globl n;       \
n:

Mostly, this is fine.  However, we also have the following, in
arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S:

        .section ".relocate_code","xa"
[...]
_GLOBAL(flush_instruction_cache)
[...]
_GLOBAL(flush_data_cache)
[...]

The addition of the .text section definition in the definition of
_GLOBAL overrides the .relocate_code section definition.  As a result,
these two functions don't end up in .relocate_code, so they don't get
relocated correctly, and the boot fails.

There's another suspicious-looking usage at kernel/swsusp.S:37 that
someone should look into.  I did not exhaustively search the source
tree, though.

The following is the minimal patch that fixes the immediate problem.
I could easily be convinced that the _GLOBAL definition should be
modified to remove the ".text;" line either instead of, or in addition
to, this fix.

In the flush and invalidate bootcode on PPC4xx we were accidentally using
the wrong instruction.  Use cmplw, which reads from a register like we
want.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
