The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros. There
are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.

For an unknown relocation type since the value of r4 is just the 8bit
relocation type, the sum of r4 and r7 may yield an invalid memory
address. For example:
In normal case:
r4 = c00xxxxx
r7 = 40000000
r4 + r7 = 000xxxxx
For an unknown relocation type:
r4 = 000000xx
r7 = 40000000
r4 + r7 = 400000xx
400000xx is an invalid memory address for a board which has just
512M memory.
And for operations such as dcbst or icbi may cause bus error for an
invalid memory address on some platforms and then cause the board
reset. So we should skip the flush/invalidate the d/icache for
an unknown relocation type.

This initializes IOMMU groups based on the IOMMU configuration
discovered during the PCI scan on POWERNV (POWER non virtualized)
platform. The IOMMU groups are to be used later by the VFIO driver,
which is used for PCI pass through.
It also implements an API for mapping/unmapping pages for
guest PCI drivers and providing DMA window properties.
This API is going to be used later by QEMU-VFIO to handle
h_put_tce hypercalls from the KVM guest.
The iommu_put_tce_user_mode() does only a single page mapping
as an API for adding many mappings at once is going to be
added later.
Although this driver has been tested only on the POWERNV
platform, it should work on any platform which supports
TCE tables. As h_put_tce hypercall is received by the host
kernel and processed by the QEMU (what involves calling
the host kernel again), performance is not the best -
circa 220MB/s on 10Gb ethernet network.
To enable VFIO on POWER, enable SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU config
option and configure VFIO as required.

- POWER8 has DAWR, hence no DABRX.
This introduces CPU_FTR_DABRX and sets it on appropriate CPUs. We use

Processors that don't have the DABRX will still work as they will fall
