We have all sort of variants of MMIO accessors for the real mode
instructions. This creates a clean set of accessors based on
Linux normal naming conventions, replacing all occurrences of
the old ones in the tree.
I have purposefully removed the "out/in" variants in favor of
only including __raw variants. Any code using these is already
pretty much hand tuned to operate in a very specific environment.
I've fixed up the 2 users (only one of them actually needed
a barrier in the first place).

The hardware RNG on POWER8 and POWER7+ can be relatively slow, since
it can only supply one 64-bit value per microsecond. Currently we
read it in arch_get_random_long(), but that slows down reading from
/dev/urandom since the code in random.c calls arch_get_random_long()
for every longword read from /dev/urandom.
Since the hardware RNG supplies high-quality entropy on every read, it
matches the semantics of arch_get_random_seed_long() better than those
of arch_get_random_long(). Therefore this commit makes the code use
the POWER8/7+ hardware RNG only for arch_get_random_seed_{long,int}
and not for arch_get_random_{long,int}.
This won't affect any other PowerPC-based platforms because none of
them currently support a hardware RNG. To make it clear that the
ppc_md function pointer is used for arch_get_random_seed_*, we rename
it from get_random_long to get_random_seed.

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator.
This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of
generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random
numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency
oscillators and are almost completely entropic.
PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one
64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode
implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was
implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is
generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for
all the threads in the same virtual core.
Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM
implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The
H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest
does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel
H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

A lot of the code in platforms/powernv is using non-machine initcalls.
That means if a kernel built with powernv support runs on another
platform, for example pseries, the initcalls will still run.
That is usually OK, because the initcalls will check for something in
the device tree or elsewhere before doing anything, so on other
platforms they will usually just return.
But it's fishy for powernv code to be running on other platforms, so
switch them all to be machine initcalls. If we want any of them to run
on other platforms in future they should move to sysdev.

Up until now we have only used cpu_to_chip_id() in the topology code,
which is only used on SMP builds. However my recent commit a4da0d5
"Implement arch_get_random_long/int() for powernv" added a usage when
SMP=n, breaking the build.
Move cpu_to_chip_id() into prom.c so it is available for SMP=n builds.
We would move the extern to prom.h, but that breaks the include in
topology.h. Instead we leave it in smp.h, but move it out of the
CONFIG_SMP #ifdef. We also need to include asm/smp.h in rng.c, because
the linux version skips asm/smp.h on UP. What a mess.

Caused by commit a4da0d50b2 ("powerpc: Implement
arch_get_random_long/int() for powernv") from the powerpc tree
interacting with commit b5b4bb3f6a ("of: only include prom.h on sparc")
from the dt-rh tree.
I added this merge fix patch (which will need to be sent to Linus when
these two trees get merged, or could be applied now to the powerpc tree):
[ Also add linux/smp.h to get cpu_to_chip_id -- BenH ]

Add the plumbing to implement arch_get_random_long/int(). It didn't seem
worth adding an extra ppc_md hook for int, so we reuse the one for long.
Add an implementation for powernv based on the hwrng found in power7+
systems. We whiten the output of the hwrng, and the result passes all
the dieharder tests.
