The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/sparc uses of the __cpuinit macros from
C files and removes __CPUINIT from assembly files. Note that even
though arch/sparc/kernel/trampoline_64.S has instances of ".previous"
in it, they are all paired off against explicit ".section" directives,
and not implicitly paired with __CPUINIT (unlike mips and arm were).

Document what's going on in asm/backoff.h with a large and descriptive
comment. Refer to it above the cpu_relax() definition in
asm/processor_64.h
Rename the pause patching section to have "3insn" in it's name like
the other patching sections do.
Based upon feedback from Sam Ravnborg.

In atomic backoff and cpu_relax(), use the pause instruction
found on SPARC-T4 and later.
It makes the cpu strand unselectable for the given number of
cycles, unless an intervening disrupting trap occurs.

Some of the sun4v code patching occurs in inline functions visible
to, and usable by, modules.
Therefore we have to patch them up during module load.

The generic irq support uses the term 'irq' for the
allocated irq number.
Fix it so sparc64 use the same term for an irq as the
generic irq support does.
For a naive reader this is less confusing.

Fix following sparse warnings:
symbol 'static_irqaction' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'static_irq_count' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'irq_action_lock' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'unexpected_irq' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'handler_irq' was not declared. Should it be static?
returning void-valued expression
returning void-valued expression
returning void-valued expression
symbol 'init_IRQ' was not declared. Should it be static?
Warnings were fixed by addding proper declarations
and fixing return path of a few functions.
There remains several warnings all related to the floppy driver.

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
