Pull device tree core updates from Grant Likely:
"Generally minor changes. A bunch of bug fixes, particularly for
initialization and some refactoring. Most notable change if feeding
the entire flattened tree into the random pool at boot. May not be
significant, but shouldn't hurt either"
Tim Bird questions whether the boot time cost of the random feeding may
be noticeable. And "add_device_randomness()" is definitely not some
speed deamon of a function.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window. Some of the
highlights are:
- A bunch of endian fixes ! We don't have full LE support yet in that
release but this contains a lot of fixes all over arch/powerpc to
use the proper accessors, call the firmware with the right endian
mode, etc...
- A few updates to our "powernv" platform (non-virtualized, the one
to run KVM on), among other, support for bridging the P8 LPC bus
for UARTs, support and some EEH fixes.
- Some mpc51xx clock API cleanups in preparation for a clock API
overhaul
- A pile of cleanups of our old math emulation code, including better
support for using it to emulate optional FP instructions on
embedded chips that otherwise have a HW FPU.
- Some infrastructure in selftest, for powerpc now, but could be
generalized, initially used by some tests for our perf instruction
counting code.
- A pile of fixes for hotplug on pseries (that was seriously
bitrotting)
- The usual slew of freescale embedded updates, new boards, 64-bit
hiberation support, e6500 core PMU support, etc..."

This patch moves the generalized implementation of of_get_cpu_node from
PowerPC to DT core library, thereby adding support for retrieving cpu
node for a given logical cpu index on any architecture.
The CPU subsystem can now use this function to assign of_node in the
cpu device while registering CPUs.
It is recommended to use these helper function only in pre-SMP/early
initialisation stages to retrieve CPU device node pointers in logical
ordering. Once the cpu devices are registered, it can be retrieved easily
from cpu device of_node which avoids unnecessary parsing and matching.

Currently different drivers requiring to access cpu device node are
parsing the device tree themselves. Since the ordering in the DT need
not match the logical cpu ordering, the parsing logic needs to consider
that. However, this has resulted in lots of code duplication and in some
cases even incorrect logic.
It's better to consolidate them by adding support for getting cpu
device node for a given logical cpu index in DT core library. However
logical to physical index mapping can be architecture specific.
PowerPC has it's own implementation to get the cpu node for a given
logical index.
This patch refactors the current implementation of of_get_cpu_node.
This in preparation to move the implementation to DT core library.
It separates out the logical to physical mapping so that a default
matching of the physical id to the logical cpu index can be added
when moved to common code. Architecture specific code can override it.

On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside
outside the 32-bit limit. These systems need the ability to specify the
initrd location using 64-bit numbers.
This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to
use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long.
There has been quite a bit of debate about whether to use u64 or phys_addr_t.
It was concluded to stick to u64 to be consistent with rest of the device
tree code. As summarized by Geert, "The address to load the initrd is decided
by the bootloader/user and set at that point later in time. The dtb should not
be tied to the kernel you are booting"

When Jeremy introduced the new device-tree based reserve map, he made
the code in early_reserve_mem_dt() bail out if it found one, thus not
reserving the initrd nor processing the old style map.
I hit problems with variants of kexec that didn't put the initrd in
the new style map either. While these could/will be fixed, I believe
we should be safe here and rather reserve more than not enough.
We could have a firmware passing stuff via the new style map, and
in the middle, a kexec that knows nothing about it and adding other
things to the old style map.
I don't see a big issue with processing both and reserving everything
that needs to be. memblock_reserve() supports overlaps fine these days.

This patch moves the notification chain for updates to the device tree
from the powerpc/pseries code to the base OF code. This makes this
functionality available to all architectures.
Additionally the notification chain is updated to allow notifications
for property add/remove/update. To make this work a pointer to a new
struct (of_prop_reconfig) is passed to the routines in the notification chain.
The of_prop_reconfig property contains a pointer to the node containing the
property and a pointer to the property itself. In the case of property
updates, the property pointer refers to the new property.

There are some device-tree nodes, whose values are of type phys_addr_t.
The phys_addr_t is variable sized based on the CONFIG_PHSY_T_64BIT.
Change these to a fixed unsigned long long for consistency.
This patch does the change only for memory_limit.
The following is a list of such variables which need the change:
1) kernel_end, crashk_size - in arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c
2) (struct resource *)crashk_res.start - We could export a local static
variable from machine_kexec.c.
Changing the above values might break the kexec-tools. So, I will
fix kexec-tools first to handle the different sized values and then change
the above.

Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region
and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of
crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move
RMA region data to the reserved memory area.
If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback
to existing kexec-based kdump.
Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been
adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas
and Manish Ahuja
This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware
assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

* early_init_devtree(): Total memory size is aligned to PAGE_SIZE;
however, alignment isn't enforced if memory_limit is explicitly
specified. Simplify the logic and always apply PAGE_SIZE alignment.
* MMU_init(): memblock regions is truncated by directly modifying
memblock.memory.cnt. This is incomplete (reserved array is not
truncated) and unnecessarily low level hindering further memblock
improvments. Use memblock_enforce_memory_limit() instead.
* wii_memory_fixups(): Unnecessarily low level direct manipulation of
memblock regions. The same result can be achieved using properly
abstracted operations. Reimplement using memblock API.

memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself;
however, all these can be done with struct initializers and
memblock_init() can be removed. This patch kills memblock_init() and
initializes memblock with struct initializer.
The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid
set to MAX_NUMNODES initially. This doesn't cause any behavior
difference.

For those MMUs that have some form of bolt'd linear mapping (TLB)
required its rare that one ever sets mem= smaller than the size of that
mapping.
However, on Book-E 64 parts the initial linear mapping is quite large
(1G) so its quite reasonable that mem= is set smaller than that.
We need to parse the command line for mem= limit and constrain the
amount of memory we map initially by it if need be.

When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align
the rootfs on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and
subsequent early memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory
between the 64K page alignment and reserved memory. When the reserved
memory is subsequently freed, it is done so by pages, causing the
early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which in my case, caused
the device-tree to be clobbered.
This patch forces the reserved memory for initrd to be kernel page
aligned, and will move the device tree if it overlaps with the range
extension of initrd. This patch will also consolidate the identical
function free_initrd_mem() from mm/init_32.c, init_64.c to mm/mem.c,
and adds the same range extension when freeing initrd. free_initrd_mem()
is also moved to the __init section.

architectures aren't forced to provide an empty implementation of
early_init_dt_scan_chosen_arch. Instead, if an architecture wants to
do something different, it can either use a wrapper function around
early_init_dt_scan_chosen(), or it can replace it altogether.

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.
We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).
The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.
It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.
Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().
The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/

On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for
each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically
allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will
waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus.
We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at
boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access
the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system.
The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas,
but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any
unused pacas.

Rather than defining of_chosen in each arch, it can be defined for all
in driver/of/base.c

We don't always have lmb available, so make arches provide an
early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch() to handle the allocation of
memory in the fdt code.
When we don't have lmb.h included, we need asm/page.h for __va.

The boot_param_header has big-endian fields, so change the types to
__be32, and perform endian conversion when we access them.
