[POWERPC] Fixes to allow use of Ebony's flash chips through physmap_of
This patch contains a handful of small fixes to allow the Ebony's
flash to be exposed as MTD devices via the physmap_of driver.
Specifically it:
- Makes a small addition to the device tree and zImage wrapper
to record the correct address for the flash in the device tree based
on the board switches as reported via an FPGA register.
- Prohibits building the old hard-coded "Ebony" flash map on
arch/powerpc kernels, in favour of using physmap_of's device tree
based approach.
- Enables MTD and physmap_of in the Ebony defconfig.

The EEH code needs to ignore PCI bridges; sort-of. It was ignoring
them in the wrong place, and thus failing to set up the
PCI_DN(dn)->pcidev pointer. Imprudent dereferencing of this pointer
would lead to a crash on cards with bridges.
There are some variables and functions that we should place in init

the device is platform device and not hot-pluggable.

[POWERPC] Fix small race in 44x tlbie function
The 440 family of processors don't have a tlbie instruction. So, we
implement TLB invalidates by explicitly searching the TLB with tlbsx.,
then clobbering the relevant entry, if any. Unfortunately the PID for
the search needs to be stored in the MMUCR register, which is also
used by the TLB miss handler. Interrupts were enabled in _tlbie(), so
an interrupt between loading the MMUCR and the tlbsx could cause
incorrect search results, and thus a failure to invalide TLB entries
which needed to be invalidated.
This fixes the problem in both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc by inhibiting
interrupts (even critical and debug interrupts) across the relevant
instructions.

This is part 2 of the patch for bug #245832, part 1 of which is already

The problem was that sdp->sd_log_num_databuf was not always being
protected by the gfs2_log_lock spinlock, but the sd_log_le_databuf
(which it is supposed to reflect) was protected. That meant there
was a timing window during which gfs2_log_flush called
databuf_lo_before_commit and the count didn't match what was
really on the linked list in that window. So when it ran out of
items on the linked list, it decremented total_dbuf from 0 to -1 and
thus never left the "while(total_dbuf)" loop.
The solution is to protect the variable sdp->sd_log_num_databuf so
that the value will always match the contents of the linked list,
and therefore the number will never go negative, and therefore, the
loop will be exited properly.

Do not replace whole memcpy in apply alternatives
apply_alternatives uses memcpy() to apply alternatives. Which has the
unfortunate effect that while applying memcpy alternative to memcpy
itself it tries to overwrite itself with nops - which causes #UD fault
as it overwrites half of an instruction in copy loop, and from this
point on only possible outcome is triplefault and reboot.
So let's overwrite only first two instructions of memcpy - as long as
the main memcpy loop is not in first two bytes it will work fine.

ACPI: thermal: add DMI hooks to handle AOpen's broken Award BIOS
Use DMI to:
1. enable polling (BIOS thermal events are broken)
2. disable active trip points (BIOS fan control is broken)
3. disable passive trip point (BIOS hard-codes it too low)
The actual temperature reading does work,
and with the aid of polling, the critical
trip point should work too.

ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip point
thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points
in all ACPI thermal zones.
thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature
active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius.
Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent
up to a higher temperature. However, it will not allow you to
raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher
trip point (if there is one). Lowering this trip point may
kick in the fan sooner.
Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts
to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point.
This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently
if temperature frequently crosses C.
WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults
may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten
its life.

ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.nocrt" to disable critical actions
thermal.nocrt=1 disables actions on _CRT and _HOT
ACPI thermal zone trip-points. They will be marked
as <disabled> in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points.
There are two cases where this option is used:
1. Debugging a hot system crossing valid trip point.
If your system fan is spinning at full speed,
be sure that the vent is not clogged with dust.
Many laptops have very fine thermal fins that are easily blocked.
Check that the processor fan-sink is properly seated,
has the proper thermal grease, and is really spinning.
Check for fan related options in BIOS SETUP.
Sometimes there is a performance vs quiet option.
Defaults are generally the most conservative.
If your fan is not spinning, yet /proc/acpi/fan/
has files in it, please file a Linux/ACPI bug.
WARNING: you risk shortening the lifetime of your
hardware if you use this parameter on a hot system.
Note that this refers to all system components,
including the disk drive.
2. Working around a cool system crossing critical
trip point due to erroneous temperature reading.
Try again with CONFIG_HWMON=n
There is known potential for conflict between the
the hwmon sub-system and the ACPI BIOS.
If this fixes it, notify lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org
and linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
Otherwise, file a Linux/ACPI bug, or notify
just linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org.
