8be3de3fd8 [PATCH] prom_find_machine_type typo breaks pSeries lpar boot
A typo in prom_find_machine_type from Ben's recent patch "ppc64: Fix
result code handling in prom_init" prevents pSeries LPAR systems from
booting.

Tested on a pSeries 570 and OpenPower 720 (both Power5 LPAR).

1e86d1c648 [PATCH] ppc64: Fix result code handling in prom_init
prom_init(), the trampoline code that "talks" to Open Firmware during
early boot, has various issues with managing OF result codes. Some of my
recent fixups in fact made the problem worse on some platforms.

This patch reworks it all. Tested on g5, Maple, POWER3 and POWER5.

44e4665cc9 [PATCH] ppc64: Fix a device-tree bug on Apple's
Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes
where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up
appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and
confuses /proc/device-tree badly.

This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when
reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not
modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0
tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem.

An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly

05fda3b1d8 [PATCH] ppc64: actually call prom_send_capabilities
When I sent in the patch adding the code for the kernel to tell the
firmware about its capabilities on pSeries machines, I included the
function to give the capabilities to firmware but somehow forgot the
hunk that adds the call to the new function.  This patch adds the
call.

1263cc67c0 [PATCH] ppc64: Fix booting on latest G5 models
The latest speedbumped Apple G5 models have a "bug" in the Open Firmware
device tree that lacks the proper interrupt routing information for the
northbridge i2c controller.  Apple's driver silently falls back into a
sub-optimal "polled" mode (heh, maybe they didn't even notice the bug
because of that :), our driver didn't properly check and crashes :(

This patch fixes our driver to not crash, and adds code to the
prom_init() OF trampoline code that detects the "bug" and adds the
missing information back for this chipset revision.  This fixes booting
and thermal control on these models.

c4005e4f66 [PATCH] ppc64: firmware workaround
Recent gcc 4.0 testing uncovered a firmware issue.  Some properties are larger
than 31 bytes and due to gcc 4.0s better stack allocation this overflow ran
over non volatile register storage.

66faf9845a [PATCH] ppc64: tell firmware about kernel capabilities
On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are
supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about
our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that
describe available memory we are expecting to see.  The way we end up
having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed
for AIX and doesn't suit us very well.  This patch adds the code to supply
this data structure to the firmware.

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!
