We can save the 451 lines of code that comprise memcpy-inatomic.S at the
expense of a single instruction in the memcpy prolog. We also use an
additional register (t6), so this may cause increased register pressure in
some places as well. But I think the reduced maintenance burden, of not
having two nearly identical implementations, makes it worth it.

Switch to using the device tree to register serial ports.
Add all the ports with compatible = "cavium,octeon-3860-uart". Octeon serial
ports have their own device type, required port flags, and I/O
functions, so using of_serial.c is not indicated.
We need to do this as late_initcall, as the 8250 driver must be
initialized before we add any ports. 8250 initialization is done at
device_initcall time.
The OCTEON_IRQ_UART{0,1,2} symbols are removed as they are now unused
and interfere with irq_domain used by the device tree code.

There are three parts to this:
1) Remove the definitions of OCTEON_IRQ_TWSI and OCTEON_IRQ_TWSI2.
The interrupts are specified by the device tree and these hard
coded irq numbers block the used of the irq lines by the irq_domain
code.
2) Remove platform device setup code from octeon-platform.c, it is
now unused.
3) Convert i2c-octeon.c to use device tree. Part of this includes
using the devm_* functions instead of the raw counterparts, thus
simplifying error handling. No functionality is changed.

The two device tree files octeon_3xxx.dts and octeon_68xx.dts are
trimmed by code in a subsequent patch to reflect the hardware actually
present on the board. To this end several properties that are not
part of the declared bindings are added to aid in trimming off
unwanted nodes. Since the device tree and the code that trims it are
bound into the kernel binary, these 'marker' properties never escape
into the wild, and are purely an implementation detail of the kernel
early boot process. This is done for backwards compatibility with
existing boards (identified by a board type enumeration value by their
bootloaders). New boards will always pass a device tree from the
bootloader, the built-in trees are ignored in this case.

This patch adds the necessary stub to register the SPI platform driver.

This register was introduced with the support of the BCM6368 CPU in the idea
that its internal layout was different from the other CPUs SPI controller.
The controller is actually the same as the one present on BCM6358 so we can
remove this register and use the usual SPI register instead.

The current mpic code creates a linear revmap just big enough for all
the sources, which happens to miss the IPIs and timers on some machines.
This will in turn break when the irqdomain code loses the fallback of
doing a linear search when the revmap fails (and really slows down IPIs
otherwise).
This happens for example on the U4 based Apple machines such as the
dual core PowerMac G5s.

"UV2 BAU productization fixes.
The BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) is SGI's fancy out of line way on UV
hardware to do TLB flushes, instead of the normal APIC IPI methods.
The commits here fix / work around hangs in their latest hardware
iteration (UV2).
My understanding is that the main purpose of the out of line
signalling channel is to improve scalability: the UV APIC hardware
glue does not handle broadcasting to many CPUs very well, and this
matters most for TLB shootdowns.
[ I don't agree with all aspects of the current approach: in hindsight
it would have been better to link the BAU at the IPI/APIC driver
level instead of the TLB shootdown level, where TLB flushes are
really just one of the uses of broadcast SMP messages. Doing that
would improve scalability in some other ways and it would also
remove a few uglies from the TLB path. It would also be nice to
push more is_uv_system() tests into proper x86_init or x86_platform
callbacks. Cliff? ]"
