Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.
On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

The routines in start.c are only ever called from nonstdio.c, so if we
move them in there they can become static which is nice.
I suspect the idea behind the separation was that start.c could be
replaced in order to build xmon in userland. If anyone still cares about
doing that we could handle that with an ifdef or two.

Make it possible to enable GCOV code coverage measurement on powerpc.

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.
The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.
The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.
The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.
It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

Today the arch/powerpc/xmon/setjmp.S file contains only the
xmon_save_regs function. We want to use it for kdump purposes, so
let's move the file into arch/powerpc/kernel/ and give the function a
more generic name (ppc_save_regs).

It may be desireable to build a kernel for cell without
spufs, e.g. as the initial kboot kernel. This requires
that the SPU specific parts of the core dump and the xmon
code depend on CONFIG_SPU_BASE instead of CONFIG_PPC_CELL.

While adding spu disassembly support it struck me that we're actually
carrying quite a lot of code around, just to do disassembly in the case
of a crash.
While on large systems it's not an issue, on smaller ones it might be
nice to have xmon - but without the weight of the disassembly support.
For a Cell build this saves ~230KB (!), and for pSeries ~195KB.
We still support the 'di' and 'sdi' commands, however they just dump
the instruction in hex.
Move the definitions into a header to clean xmon.c just a tiny bit.

This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the
merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg
stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
them in a later patch.
For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
"btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
later patch.

This factors out the common bits of arch/powerpc/xmon/start_*.c into
a new nonstdio.c, and removes some stuff that was supposed to make
xmon's I/O routines somewhat stdio-like but was never used.
It also makes the parsing of the xmon= command line option common,
so that ppc32 can now use xmon={off,on,early} also.

The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by
the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact
the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').
