104699c0ab powerpc: Convert old cpumask API into new one
Adapt new API.

Almost change is trivial. Most important change is the below line
because we plan to change task->cpus_allowed implementation.

-       ctx->cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed;

99d8670525 powerpc: Cleanup APIs for cpu/thread/core mappings
These APIs take logical cpu number as input
Change cpu_first_thread_in_core() to cpu_first_thread_sibling()
Change cpu_last_thread_in_core() to cpu_last_thread_sibling()

These APIs convert core number (index) to logical cpu/thread numbers
Add cpu_first_thread_of_core(int core)
Changed cpu_thread_to_core() to cpu_core_index_of_thread(int cpu)

The goal is to make 'threads_per_core' accessible to the
pseries_energy module.  Instead of making an API to read
threads_per_core, this is a higher level wrapper function to
convert from logical cpu number to core number.

The current APIs cpu_first_thread_in_core() and
cpu_last_thread_in_core() returns logical CPU number while
cpu_thread_to_core() returns core number or index which is
not a logical CPU number.  The new APIs are now clearly named to
distinguish 'core number' versus first and last 'logical cpu
number' in that core.

The new APIs cpu_{first,last}_thread_sibling() work on
logical cpu numbers.  While cpu_first_thread_of_core() and
cpu_core_index_of_thread() work on core index.

Example usage:  (4 threads per core system)

cpu_first_thread_sibling(5) = 4
cpu_last_thread_sibling(5) = 7
cpu_core_index_of_thread(5) = 1
cpu_first_thread_of_core(1) = 4

cpu_core_index_of_thread() is used in cpu_to_drc_index() in the
module and cpu_first_thread_of_core() is used in
drc_index_to_cpu() in the module.

Make API changes to few callers.  Export symbols for use in modules.

fcce810986 powerpc/mm: Add HW threads support to no_hash TLB management
The current "no hash" MMU context management code is written with
the assumption that one CPU == one TLB. This is not the case on
implementations that support HW multithreading, where several
linux CPUs can share the same TLB.

This adds some basic support for this to our context management
and our TLB flushing code.

It also cleans up the optional debugging output a bit

b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
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.
