eef336189b powerpc: Don't emulate mr. instructions
Currently emulate_step() emulates mr. instructions without updating cr0
and this can be disastrous. Don't emulate mr.

This bug has been around for a while, but I am not sure if its a worthy
-stable candidate. I'll leave it to Ben do decide.

6888199f7f [POWERPC] Emulate more instructions in software
Emulate a few more instructions in software - especially useful during
singlestepping (xmon/kprobes).

Instructions emulated with this patch are mfcr/mtcr rX, mfxer/mtxer rX,
mflr/mtlr rX, mfctr/mtctr rX and mr rA,rB.

0d69a052d4 [POWERPC] Disallow kprobes on emulate_step and branch_taken
On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when
it is triggered.

When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and
will cause recursive kprobe fault.  And branch_taken() is called
in emulate_step().  This disallows kprobes on both of them.

c032524f0d powerpc: Make single-stepping emulation (mostly) usable on 32-bit
The sc instruction emulation can't be done the same way on 32-bit
as 64-bit yet, but this should work OK.

14cf11af6c powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.
This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.

For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.

The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.
