from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.

Fixes this powerpc build error in 2.6.22-rc6-mm1 for powerpc 64 with
CONFIG_SWAP=n :

release_pages is declared in linux/pagemap.h, but cannot be included in
linux/swap.h because of a sparc related comment:

#define free_page_and_swap_cache(page) \
page_cache_release(page)
#define free_pages_and_swap_cache(pages, nr) \
release_pages((pages), (nr), 0);

I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching. The
common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB
batch. It does that because it delays all page freeing until after
tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to
those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to
the freed pages.
However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page
table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending
TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error. This fixes it.

The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we
lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs
after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash
entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems.
This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather
stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the
paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu
mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range
of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given
CPU before it drops that lock.
We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush.
Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and
disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is
always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen
and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching
is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will
use the batch for that flush.

include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
not have this yet.
This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.
