Commit 231a35d372 [[MIPS] RM: Collected
changes] broke DECstation support by introducing an incompatible copy of
arch/mips/dec/prom/call_o32.S in arch/mips/fw/lib/, built unconditionally.
The copy happens to land earlier of the two among the modules used in the
link and is therefore chosen for the DECstation rather than the intended
original. As a result random kernel data is corrupted because a pointer
to the "%s" formatted output template is used as a temporary stack pointer
rather than being passed down to prom_printf. This also explains why
prom_printf still works, up to a point -- the next argument is the actual
string to output so it works just fine as the output template until enough
kernel data has been corrupted to cause a crash.
This change adjusts the modified wrapper in arch/mips/fw/lib/call_o32.S to
let callers request no stack switching by passing a null temporary stack
pointer in $a1, reworks the DECstation callers to work with the updated
interface and removes the old copy from arch/mips/dec/prom/call_o32.S. A
few minor readability adjustments are included as well, most importantly
O32_SZREG is now used throughout where applicable rather than hardcoded
multiplies of 4 and $fp is used to access the argument save area as a more
usual register to operate the stack with rather than $s0.
Finally an update is made to the temporary stack space used by the SNI
platform to guarantee 8-byte alignment as per o32 requirements.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

- EISA support for non PCI RMs (RM200 and RM400-xxx). The major part
is the splitting of the EISA and onboard ISA of the RM200, which
makes the EISA bus on the RM200 look like on other RMs.
- 64bit kernel support
- system type detection is now common for big and little endian
- moved sniprom code to arch/mips/fw
- added call_o32 function to arch/mips/fw/lib, which uses a private
stack for calling prom functions
- fix problem with ISA interrupts, which makes using PIT clockevent
possible
