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.

1f8d419e29 [PATCH] ppc64: pgtable.h and other header cleanups
This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from
asm-ppc64/pgtable.h, then kind of grew.  It now makes a bunch of
cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding
changes to .c files where necessary) such as:
	- Abolishing never-used macros
	- Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose
	- Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the
macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible)
	- Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in
terms of each other weren't
	- Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their
own header file (imalloc.h)
	- Re-arranging headers to group things more logically
	- Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead
of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h
	- Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're
not using it.
	- Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
