Merge ppc32 and ppc64 versions of thread_info.h. They were pretty
similar already, the chief changes are:
- Instead of inline asm to implement current_thread_info(),
which needs to be different for ppc32 and ppc64, we use C with an
asm("r1") register variable. gcc turns it into the same asm as we
used to have for both platforms.
- We replace ppc32's 'local_flags' with the ppc64
'syscall_noerror' field. The noerror flag was in fact the only thing
in the local_flags field anyway, so the ppc64 approach is simpler, and
means we only need a load-immediate/store instead of load/mask/store
when clearing the flag.
- In readiness for 64k pages, when THREAD_SIZE will be less
than a page, ppc64 used kmalloc() rather than get_free_pages() to
allocate the kernel stack. With this patch we do the same for ppc32,
since there's no strong reason not to.
- For ppc64, we no longer export THREAD_SHIFT and THREAD_SIZE
via asm-offsets, thread_info.h can now be safely included in asm, as
on ppc32.
Built and booted on G4 Powerbook (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and
Power5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).

- Add PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG/PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG. The definition is
as follows:
/*
* Get or set a debug register. The first 16 are DABR registers and the
* second 16 are IABR registers.
*/
#define PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG 25
#define PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG 26
DABR == data breakpoint and IABR = instruction breakpoint in IBM
speak. We could split out the IABR into 2 more ptrace calls but I
figured there was no need and 16 DABR registers should be more
than enough (POWER4/POWER5 have one).
- Add 2 new SIGTRAP si_codes: TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRANCH. I couldnt
find any standards on either of these so I copied what ia64 is
doing. Again this might be better placed in
include/asm-generic/siginfo.h

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!
