First we capture all the strings from dt.c statically by noting that gcc
puts them in a special section of their own. Idea from Michael Ellerman.
Then we move the flattened device tree to klimit.
Still to come, making the values blob grow as needed.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

We can't currently use asm-ppc/page.h in vmlinux.lds.S, so until
we have a merged page.h, define PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE locally.
Also gets rid of some dynamic executable cruft that we had for
32-bit. With -Ttext=$(KERNELBASE) this didn't cause any problem,
but when we changed to putting . = KERNELBASE in the vmlinux.lds.S
this cruft caused the text to get linked at 0xa0 instead of
0xc0000000. Oops.

Currently we set the kernel entry point and the address of the text
section in the Makefile, using CONFIG_KERNEL_START.
But we've already got <asm/page.h> in the linker script, so we can just
use KERNELBASE directly. That means if we ever change KERNELBASE there's
one less place to change it.
And we can set the entry point with ENTRY().
There are zero differences from "readelf -a vmlinux" with or without this
patch.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
