1635317fac [PATCH] Separate pci bits out of struct device_node
This patch pulls the PCI-related junk out of struct device_node and
puts it in a separate structure, struct pci_dn.  The device_node now
just has a void * pointer in it, which points to a struct pci_dn for
nodes that represent PCI devices.  It could potentially be used in
future for device-specific data for other sorts of devices, such as
virtual I/O devices.

34153fa3af [PATCH] flattened device tree changes
This patch updates the format of the flattened device-tree passed
between the boot trampoline and the kernel to support a more compact
representation, for use by embedded systems mostly.

5f64f73957 [PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree
This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:

 - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
   exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
   simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
   /proc with random result...

 - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
   address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
   buggy and didn't always work anyway.

 - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
   node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
   the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
   dentry and inode cache bloat.

This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
