Handle the ibm,suspend-me RTAS call specially. It needs
to be wrapped in a set of synchronization hypervisor calls
(H_Join). When the H_Join calls are made on all CPUs, the
intent is that only one will return with H_Continue, meaning
that he is the "last man standing". That CPU then issues the
ibm,suspend-me call. What is interesting, of course, is that
the CPU running when the rtas syscall is made, may NOT be the
CPU that ultimately executes the ibm,suspend-me rtas call.

This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue

This code kicks in after the glue code creates a platform_device with the
right platform_data. That data includes I/O loops, which will usually
come from expanding an inline function (provided in the header). One goal
is that the I/O loops should be easily optimized down to a few GPIO register
accesses, in common cases, for speed and minimized overhead.
This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options in the
SPI framework, and might eventually serve as as reference implementation.
- different word sizes (1..32 bits)
- differing clock rates
- SPI modes differing by CPOL (affecting chip select and I/O loops)
- SPI modes differing by CPHA (affecting I/O loops)
- delays (usecs) after transfers
- temporarily deselecting chips in mid-transfer
A lot of hardware could work with this framework, though common types of
controller can't reach peak performance without switching to a driver
structure that supports pipelining of transfers (e.g. DMA queues) and maybe
controllers (e.g. IRQ driven).

- <linux/spi/ads7846.h> abstracts board-specific touchscreen info

So far only basic testing has been done. There's a fair amount of hardware

One portability note may be of special interest. It turns out that not all
SPI controllers are happy issuing requests that do things like "write 8 bit
command, read 12 bit response". Most of them seem happy to handle various
word sizes, so the issue isn't "12 bit response" but rather "different rx
and tx write sizes", despite that being a common MicroWire convention. So
this version of the driver no longer reads 12 bit native-endian words; it
reads 16-bit big-endian responses, then byteswaps them and shifts the
results to discard the noise.

mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :)
- The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver

- This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there
are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
mentions of other drivers in development.
- No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare.
Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.
The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
and include:
- One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.
- The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
DMA drivers that want to be fancy.
- Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init
logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.
- Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACA
At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.
This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.
The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.

[PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup LOADADDR etc. asm macros
This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or
64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*). The
idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and
to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given
situation. The new macros and their semantics are described in the
comments in ppc_asm.h.
In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using
immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC. Likewise we cleanup a
couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with
asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro
instead.

[PATCH] powerpc: Updated platforms that use gianfar to match driver
The gianfar driver changed how it required MDIO bus and phy id's
to be passed to it. Also, it no longer passes the physical address
of the MDIO bus. Instead we have a proper platform device.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add/remove/update properties in firmware device tree
Add support for updating and removing device tree
properties. Since we hand out pointers to properties with gay
abandon, we can't just free the property storage. Instead we
move deleted, or the old copy of an updated property, to a
"dead properties" list.
Also note, its not feasable to kref device tree properties.
we call get_property() all over the kernel in a wild variety
of contexts.
One consequence of this change is that we now take a
read_lock(&devtree_lock) when doing get_property().
