While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme
of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears
to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs
directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for
directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is
not set.
This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support
that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher
level. So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from
commit b592fcfe7f06c15ec11774b5be7ce0de3aa86e73 is now gone.

Due to historical reasons, struct kobject contained a static array for
the name, and a dynamic pointer in case the name got bigger than the
array. That's just dumb, as people didn't always know which variable to
reference, even with the accessor for the kobject name.
This patch removes the static array, potentially saving a lot of memory
as the majority of kobjects do not have a very long name.
Thanks to Kay for the idea to do this.

A kset should not have its name set directly, so dynamically set the
name at runtime.
This is needed to remove the static array in the kobject structure which
will be changed in a future patch.

A number of different drivers incorrect access the kobject name field
directly. This is not correct as the name might not be in the array.
Use the proper accessor function instead.

The kernel creates a process for every event that is send, even when
there is no binary it could execute. We are needlessly creating around
200-300 failing processes during early bootup, until we have the chance
to disable it from userspace.
This change allows us to disable /sbin/hotplug entirely, if you want to,
by setting UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" in the kernel config.

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.
Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
error handling.

Currently find_legacy_serial_ports() can find no serial ports on the
OPB with flattened device tree. Thus no legacy boot console can be
initialized. Just the early udbg console works, which is initialized
with udbg_init_44x_as1 on the UART's physical address specified in
kernel config. This happens because we look for ns16750 serial
devices only and expect opb node to have a device type property. This
patch makes it look for ns16550-compatible devices and use
of_device_is_compatible() for opb in case device type is not
specified.

This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).
We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.
We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.
Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.
