PPC64 machines before Power4 need a segment table page allocated for each
CPU. Currently these are allocated statically in a big array in head.S for
all CPUs. The segment tables need to be in the first segment (so
do_stab_bolted doesn't take a recursive fault on the stab itself), but
other than that there are no constraints which require the stabs for the
secondary CPUs to be statically allocated.
This patch allocates segment tables dynamically during boot, using
lmb_alloc() to ensure they are within the first 256M segment. This reduces
the kernel image size by 192k...
Tested on RS64 iSeries, POWER3 pSeries, and POWER5.

Add support for the integrated interrupt controller on BPA
CPUs. There is one of those for each SMT thread.
The mapping of interrupt numbers to HW interrupt sources
is described in arch/ppc64/kernel/bpa_iic.h.
This version hardcodes the 'Spider' chip as the secondary
interrupt controller. That is not really generic for the
architecture, but at the moment it is the only secondary
PIC that exists.
A little more work will be needed on this as soon as
we have boards with multiple external interrupt controllers.

Now that we have HZ=1000 there is much less of a need for decr_overclock.
Remove it.
Leave spread_lpevents but move it into iSeries_setup.c. We should look at
making event spreading the default some day.

Use smp_mb and smp_wmb. In particular smp_wmb is lighter weight than wmb.

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!
