o sparc32 files with identical names to sparc64 renamed to &lt;name&gt;_32.S
o introduced a few Kconfig helpers to simplify Makefile logic
o refactored Makefile to prepare for unification
  - use obj-$(CONFIG_SPARC32) for sparc32 specific files
  - use &lt;name&gt;_$(BITS) for files where sparc64 has a _64 variant
  - sparc64 directly include a few files where sparc32 builds them,
    refer to these files directly (no BITS)
  - sneaked in -Werror as used by sparc64
o modified sparc/Makefile to use the new names for head/init_task

All noise since we don't have CPU hotplug there.  However, they
did expose something very odd-looking in there - poke_viking()
does a bunch of identical btfixup each time it's called (i.e.
for each CPU).  That one is left alone for now; just the trivial
misannotation fixes.

<title>sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code</title>

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.

this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.

(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)

under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
