Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Our pseries hcall interfaces are out of control:
plpar_hcall_norets
plpar_hcall
plpar_hcall_8arg_2ret
plpar_hcall_4out
plpar_hcall_7arg_7ret
plpar_hcall_9arg_9ret
Create 3 interfaces to cover all cases:
plpar_hcall_norets: 7 arguments no returns
plpar_hcall: 6 arguments 4 returns
plpar_hcall9: 9 arguments 9 returns
There are only 2 cases in the kernel that need plpar_hcall9, hopefully
we can keep it that way.
Pass in a buffer to stash return parameters so we avoid the &dummy1,
&dummy2 madness.

Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

No one outside platforms/iseries needs ItExtVpdPanel anymore, so move
it in there. It used to be needed by lparcfg, and so was exported, but
isn't needed anymore, so unexport it.

This patch allows the compiler to catch any printf-like mismatches for
udbg_printf(). After some brute force building I've only found issues
with my own code and lparcfg.c It could break some developers, but
IMHO that would be goodness.

This fixes several problems with the lparcfg code. In case
someone gets a sense of deja-vu, part of this was submitted last Sep, I
thought the changes went in, but either got backed out, or just got
lost.
First, change the local_buffer declaration to be unsigned char *. We
had a bad-math problem in a 2.4 tree which was built with a
"-fsigned-char" parm. I dont believe we ever build with that parm
now-a-days, but to be safe, I'd prefer the declaration be explicit.
Second, fix a bad math calculation for splpar_strlen.
Third, on the rtas_call for get-system-parameter, pass in
RTAS_DATA_BUF_SIZE for the rtas_data_buf size, instead of letting random
data determine the size. Until recently, we've had a sufficiently
large 'random data' value get passed in, so the function just happens to
have worked OK. Now it's getting passed a '0', which causes the
rtas_call to return success, but no data shows up in the buffer.
(oops!). This was found by the LTC test org.
This is in a branch of code that only gets run on SPLPAR systems.
Tested on power5 Lpar.

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.
This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.
The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.

If we dont have permission to read some information from the hypervisor,
lparcfg outputs a warning on the console. Now that lparcfg is world

prototypes and fix whitespace damage in a structure as well.

This patch moves a bunch more files from arch/ppc64 and
include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into
arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc. The file affected are:
hvcall.h
proc_ppc64.c
sysfs.c
lparcfg.c
rtas_pci.c
The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile
changes are:
- #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form
- trailing whitespace removed
- comments giving full paths removed
Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
