Create sysfs interface to export data from H_BEST_ENERGY hcall
that can be used by administrative tools on supported pseries
platforms for energy management optimizations.
sys/device/system/cpu/pseries_(de)activate_hint_list and
sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint will provide
hints for activation and deactivation of cpus respectively.
These hints are abstract number given by the hypervisor based
on the extended knowledge the hypervisor has regarding the
system topology and resource mappings.
The activate and the deactivate sysfs entry is for the two
distinct operations that we could do for energy savings. When
we have more capacity than required, we could deactivate few
core to save energy. The choice of the core to deactivate
will be based on /sys/devices/system/cpu/deactivate_hint_list.
The comma separated list of cpus (cores) will be the preferred
choice. If we have to activate some of the deactivated cores,
then /sys/devices/system/cpu/activate_hint_list will be used.
The per-cpu file
/sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint further
provide more fine grain information by exporting the value of
the hint itself.
Added new driver module
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pseries_energy.c
under new config option CONFIG_PSERIES_ENERGY

Partition hibernation will use some of the same code as is
currently used for Live Partition Migration. This function
further abstracts this code such that code outside of rtas.c
can utilize it. It also changes the error field in the suspend
me data structure to be an atomic type, since it is set and
checked on different cpus without any barriers or locking.

This adds plpar_pte_read_4_raw() which can be used read 4 PTEs from
PHYP at a time, while in real mode.
It also creates a new hcall9 which can be used in real mode. It's the
same as plpar_hcall9 but minus the tracing hcall statistics which may
require variables outside the RMO.

Add support for H_EM_GET_PARMS hcall that will return data
related to power modes from the platform. Export the data
directly to user space for administrative tools to interpret
and use.
cat /proc/powerpc/lparcfg will export power mode data

Add hcall_entry and hcall_exit tracepoints. This replaces the inline
assembly HCALL_STATS code and converts it to use the new tracepoints.
To keep the disabled case as quick as possible, we embed a status word
in the TOC so we can get at it with a single load. By doing so we
keep the overhead at a minimum. Time taken for a null hcall:
No tracepoint code: 135.79 cycles
Disabled tracepoints: 137.95 cycles
For reference, before this patch enabling HCALL_STATS resulted in a null
hcall of 201.44 cycles!

During platform setup, save off the primary/secondary paging space
pool IDs and the page size. Added accessors in hvcall.h for these
variables. This is needed for a subsequent fix.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
