This is based upon a report by Meelis Roos showing that it's possible
that we'll try to fetch a property that is 32K in size with some
devices. With the current fixed 3K buffer we use for moving data in
and out of the firmware during PROM calls, that simply won't work.
In fact, it will scramble random kernel data during bootup.
The reasoning behind the temporary buffer is entirely historical. It
used to be the case that we had problems referencing dynamic kernel
memory (including the stack) early in the boot process before we
explicitly told the firwmare to switch us over to the kernel trap
table.
So what we did was always give the firmware buffers that were locked
into the main kernel image.
But we no longer have problems like that, so get rid of all of this
indirect bounce buffering.
Besides fixing Meelis's bug, this also makes the kernel data about 3K
smaller.
It was also discovered during these conversions that the
implementation of prom_retain() was completely wrong, so that was
fixed here as well. Currently that interface is not in use.

As noticed by Mikulas Patocka, the backoff macros don't
completely nop out for UP builds, we still get a
branch always and a delay slot nop.
Fix this by making the branch to the backoff spin loop
selective, then we can nop out the spin loop completely.

Basically tip-off the powerpc code, use a 64-bit type and atomic64_t
interfaces for the implementation.
This gets us off of the by-hand asm code I wrote, which frankly I
think probably ruins I-cache hit rates.
The idea was the keep the call chains less deep, but anything taking
the rw-semaphores probably is also calling other stuff and therefore
already has allocated a stack-frame. So no real stack frame savings
ever.
Ben H. has posted patches to make powerpc use 64-bit too and with some
abstractions we can probably use a shared header file somewhere.
With suggestions from Sam Ravnborg.

If a video head and keyboard are hooked up, specifying "console=ttyS0"
or similar to use a serial console will not work properly.
The key issue is that we must register all serial console capable
devices with register_console(), otherwise the command line specified
device won't be found. The sun serial drivers would only register
themselves as console devices if the OpenFirmware specified console
device node matched. To fix this part we now unconditionally get
the serial console register by setting serial_drv->cons always.
Secondarily we must not add_preferred_console() using the firmware
provided console setting if the user gaven an override on the kernel
command line using "console=" The "primary framebuffer" matching
logic was always triggering o n openfirmware device node match, make
it not when a command line override was given.

- /* Someone grabbed the sem already */
+ rwsem_atomic_update(0, sem) < RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS)
+ /* Someone grabbed the sem for write already */

Until now, the tile architecture ABI for syscall return has just been
that r0 holds the return value, and an error is only signalled like it is
for kernel code, with a negative small number.
However, this means that in multiple places in userspace we end up writing
the same three-cycle idiom that tests for a small negative number for
error. It seems cleaner to instead move that code into the kernel, and
set r1 to hold zero on success or errno on failure; previously, r1 was
just zeroed on return from the kernel (to avoid leaking kernel state).
This way a single conditional branch after the syscall is sufficient
to test for the failure case. The number of cycles taken is the same,
but the error-checking code is in just one place, so total code size is
smaller, and random userspace syscall code is easier to understand.

It's wrong for several reasons, but the most direct one is that the
fault may be for the stack accesses to set up a previous SIGBUS. When
we have a kernel exception, the kernel exception handler does all the
fixups, not some user-level signal handler.
Even apart from the nested SIGBUS issue, it's also wrong to give out
kernel fault addresses in the signal handler info block, or to send a
SIGBUS when a system call already returns EFAULT.
