Olof Johansson ca507eaf32 [PATCH] powerpc: remove redundant code in stab init
There's never been a hardware platform that has both pSeries/RPA LPAR
hypervisor and stab (pre-POWER4 segment management). This removes
the redundant code in stab_initalize().

Paul Mackerras 799d6046d3 [PATCH] powerpc: merge code values for identifying platforms
This patch merges platform codes.  systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32.  Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3c726f8dee [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.

Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

Paul Mackerras ab1f9dac6e powerpc: Merge arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm
This moves the remaining files in arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm,
and arranges that we use them when compiling with ARCH=ppc64.
