David Gibson a0e60b2033 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge bitops.h
Here's a revised version.  This re-introduces the set_bits() function
from ppc64, which I removed because I thought it was unused (it exists
on no other arch).  In fact it is used in the powermac interrupt code
(but not on pSeries).

- We use LARXL/STCXL macros to generate the right (32 or 64 bit)
  instructions, similar to LDL/STL from ppc_asm.h, used in fpu.S

- ppc32 previously used a full "sync" barrier at the end of
  test_and_*_bit(), whereas ppc64 used an "isync".  The merged version
  uses "isync", since I believe that's sufficient.

- The ppc64 versions of then minix_*() bitmap functions have changed
  semantics.  Previously on ppc64, these functions were big-endian
  (that is bit 0 was the LSB in the first 64-bit, big-endian word).
  On ppc32 (and x86, for that matter, they were little-endian.  As far
  as I can tell, the big-endian usage was simply wrong - I guess
  no-one ever tried to use minixfs on ppc64.

- On ppc32 find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit() are no longer
  inline (they were already out-of-line on ppc64).

- For ppc64, sched_find_first_bit() has moved from mmu_context.h to
  the merged bitops.  What it was doing in mmu_context.h in the first
  place, I have no idea.

- The fls() function is now implemented using the cntlzw instruction
  on ppc64, instead of generic_fls(), as it already was on ppc32.

- For ARCH=ppc, this patch requires adding arch/powerpc/lib to the
  arch/ppc/Makefile.  This in turn requires some changes to
  arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile which didn't correctly handle ARCH=ppc.

Built and running on G5.
