c6622f63db powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accounting
This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit
powerpc kernels.  Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a
task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at
the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to
the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode.  We
also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts
accurately.  This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.  If
that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before.

To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor
utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase
on other machines on

* each entry to the kernel from usermode
* each exit to usermode
* transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq
  context in kernel mode
* context switches.

On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also
read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and
context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by
the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time).  Unfortunately,
since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to
accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate
steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time
between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle
loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment.

This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the
generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers,
i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc.

This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and
userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to
userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(),
times(), etc.  Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in
timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a
second) when reported to userspace.  Some precision is therefore lost
but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal
accumulation is at full precision.

7f7fda04a6 [PATCH] ppc32: fix PQ2 PCI DMA interrupt handling
The bit position in the status register corresponding to the
PCI DMA interrupt was incorrect.  Additionally, we did not
have a define for the PCI DMA interrupt.

d4be4f37d9 ppc64: remove ppc_irq_dispatch_handler
Use __do_IRQ instead.  The only difference is that every controller
is now assumed to have an end() routine (only xics_8259 did not).

b709c08328 ppc64: move stack switching up in interrupt processing
This will make the ppc64 multiplatform irq handling more like
the generic handling.

f3f66f599d [PATCH] powerpc: Rename BPA to Cell
The official name for BPA is now CBEA (Cell Broadband
Engine Architecture). This patch renames all occurences
of the term BPA to 'Cell' for easier recognition.

6d0124fc06 powerpc: Fix interrupt-tree parsing
The interrupt-tree parsing code wasn't offsetting interrupt numbers
by 16 on 32-bit platforms with an i8259 interrupt controller, and
it was confused about the encoding of interrupt sense and level
(which is different for i8259 and openpic interrupt controllers,
just to make things interesting).

f2783c1500 powerpc: Merge time.c and asm/time.h.
We now use the merged time.c for both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation
with ARCH=powerpc, and for ARCH=ppc64, but not for ARCH=ppc32.
This removes setup_default_decr (folds its function into time_init)
and moves wakeup_decrementer into time.c.  This also makes an
asm-powerpc/rtc.h.
