Don't inherit headers "by chances" from asm/prom.h, asm/mpc52xx.h,
asm/pci.h etc...
Include the needed headers, and remove asm/prom.h when it was
needed exclusively for pulling necessary headers.

Some functions defined in `arch/powerpc/kernel` (and one in `arch/powerpc/
kexec`) are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are
only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered
kmsg_dumper structure, create a separate iterator structure. The
kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus
allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions.
Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper
structure to use the new kmsg_dump_iter structure. For kmsg_dumpers,
this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize
the iterator.
All this is in preparation for removal of @logbuf_lock.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Support for userspace to send requests directly to the on-chip GZIP
accelerator on Power9.
- Rework of our lockless page table walking (__find_linux_pte()) to
make it safe against parallel page table manipulations without
relying on an IPI for serialisation.
- A series of fixes & enhancements to make our machine check handling
more robust.
- Lots of plumbing to add support for "prefixed" (64-bit) instructions
on Power10.
- Support for using huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx (32-bit).
- Remove obsolete Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support, and an associated sound
driver.
- Removal of some obsolete 40x platforms and associated cruft.
- Initial support for booting on Power10.
- Lots of other small features, cleanups & fixes.

Adopt nvram module to reduce code duplication. This means CONFIG_NVRAM
becomes available to PPC64 builds. Previously it was only available to
PPC32 builds because it depended on CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM.
The IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl as implemented on PPC64 validates the
offset returned by pmac_get_partition(). Do the same in the nvram module.
Note that the old PPC32 generic_nvram module lacked this test.
So when CONFIG_PPC32 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl
would have returned 0 (always). But when CONFIG_PPC64 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC,
the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned -1 (which is -EPERM)
when the requested partition was not found.
With this patch, the result is now -EINVAL on both PPC32 and PPC64 when
the requested PowerMac NVRAM partition is not found. This is a userspace-
visible change, in the non-existent partition case, which would be in
an error path for an IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl syscall.

Pstore write for powerpc is broken as flags(PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG) is not set for

/fs/pstore/dmesg*(Entry doesn't gets created at all).
This patch enables pstore write for powerpc architecture by setting

Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4
compression support so that users can have more options and better
compression ratio.
The original code treats the compressed data together with the
uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The
ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The
treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them
separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed
data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

The Makefile/Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:
obj-$(CONFIG_PPC64) += setup_64.o sys_ppc32.o \
signal_64.o ptrace32.o \
paca.o nvram_64.o firmware.o
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype:config PPC64
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype: bool "64-bit kernel"
...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.
We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag since that information is already
contained at the top of the file in the comments.

This patch extends pstore, a generic interface to platform dependent
persistent storage, support for powernv platform to capture certain
useful information, during dying moments. Such support is already in
place for pseries platform. This patch re-uses most of that code.
It is a common practice to compile kernels with both CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y
and CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV=y. The code in nvram_init_oops_partition() routine
still works as intended, as the caller is platform specific code which
passes the appropriate value for "rtas_partition_exists" parameter.
In all other places, where CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES or CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV
flag is used in this patchset, it is to reduce the kernel size in cases
where this flag is not set and doesn't have any impact logic wise.
