Instantiation of 8MB pages on the TLB cache for the kernel static
mapping trashes r3 register on !CONFIG_8xx_CPU6 configurations.
This ensures r3 gets saved and restored.
This has been posted to linuxppc-embedded by Marcelo Tosatti
<marcelo@kvack.org>, but only an incomplete version of the patch
has been applied in c51e078f82.
This patch adds the rest of the fix.

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.

The last two 8MB TLB entries are being incorrectly set by initial_mmu on 8xx.
The first entry is written with the same virtual/physical address, which
renders it invalid:
BDI>rms 792 0x00001e00
BDI>rms 824 1
BDI>rds 824
SPR 824 : 0xc08000c0 -1065353024
BDI>rds 825
SPR 825 : 0xc0800de0 -1065349664
BDI>rds 826
SPR 826 : 0x00000000 0
And the second entry, in addition, does not have its TLB index set
correctly.

The following implements support for instantiation of 8MB D-TLB
entries for the kernel direct virtual mapping on 8xx, thus reducing TLB
space consumed for the kernel.
Test used: writing 40MB from /dev/zero to file in ext2fs over
RAMDISK.
$ time dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=4k count=10000

Which is a 3.6% improvement in execution time. More improvement is
expected for loads with larger kernel data footprint (real workloads).

Use idle_power4.S from ppc64 as we are not going to support
32 bit power4 in the merged tree.
Merge ppc64 traps.c into powerpc traps.c:
use ppc64 versions of exception routine names
(as they don't have StudlyCaps)
make all the versions if die() have the same
prototype

On PPC 8xx, the DataTLBMiss handler does not jump directly to the page
fault handler, as was the case in v2.4.
It instead loads an invalid TLB which causes a subsequent DataTLBError
exception.
The comment on top of it haven't been update to reflect the change, though.

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!
