f10e2e5b4b powerpc: Rename LWSYNC_ON_SMP to PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER, ISYNC_ON_SMP to PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER
For performance reasons we are about to change ISYNC_ON_SMP to sometimes be
lwsync. Now that the macro name doesn't make sense, change it and LWSYNC_ON_SMP
to better explain what the barriers are doing.

0d2d3e38f7 powerpc: expose the multi-bit ops that underlie single-bit ops.
The bitops.h functions that operate on a single bit in a bitfield are
implemented by operating on the corresponding word location. In all
cases the inner logic is valid if the mask being applied has more than
one bit set, so this patch exposes those inner operations. Indeed,
set_bits() was already available, but it duplicated code from
set_bit() (rather than making the latter a wrapper) - it was also
missing the PPC405_ERR77() workaround and the "volatile" address
qualifier present in other APIs. This corrects that, and exposes the
other multi-bit equivalents.

One advantage of these multi-bit forms is that they allow word-sized
variables to essentially be their own spinlocks, eg. very useful for
state machines where an atomic "flags" variable can obviate the need
for any additional locking.

b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
