71e1f55ad4 [PATCH] ppc64: Simplify some lmb functions
lmb_phys_mem_size() can always return lmb.memory.size, as long as it's called
after lmb_analyze(), which it is. There's no need to recalculate the size on
every call.

lmb_analyze() was calculating a few things we then threw away, so just don't
calculate them to start with.

180379dcef [PATCH] ppc64: Remove physbase from the lmb_property struct
We no longer need the lmb code to know about abs and phys addresses, so
remove the physbase variable from the lmb_property struct.

e88bcd1b29 [PATCH] ppc64: Remove redundant abs_to_phys() macro
abs_to_phys() is a macro that turns out to do nothing, and also has the
unfortunate property that it's not the inverse of phys_to_abs() on iSeries.

The following is for my benefit as much as everyone else.

With CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled, the lmb code is changed such that it keeps
a physbase variable for each lmb region. This is used to take the possibly
discontiguous lmb regions and present them as a contiguous address space
beginning from zero.

In this context each lmb region's base address is its "absolute" base
address, and its physbase is it's "physical" address (from Linux's point of
view). The abs_to_phys() macro does the mapping from "absolute" to "physical".

Note: This is not related to the iSeries mapping of physical to absolute
(ie. Hypervisor) addresses which is maintained with the msChunks structure.
And the msChunks structure is not controlled via CONFIG_MSCHUNKS.

Once upon a time you could compile for non-iSeries with CONFIG_MSCHUNKS
enabled. But these days CONFIG_MSCHUNKS depends on CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES, so
for non-iSeries code abs_to_phys() is a no-op.

On iSeries we always have one lmb region which spans from 0 to
systemcfg->physicalMemorySize (arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_setup.c line 383).
This region has a base (ie. absolute) address of 0, and a physbase address
of 0 (as calculated in lmb_analyze() (arch/ppc64/kernel/lmb.c line 144)).

On iSeries, abs_to_phys(aa) is defined as lmb_abs_to_phys(aa), which finds
the lmb region containing aa (and there's only one, ie. 0), and then does:

 return lmb.memory.region[0].physbase + (aa - lmb.memory.region[0].base)

physbase == base == 0, so you're left with "return aa".

So remove abs_to_phys(), and lmb_abs_to_phys() which is the implementation
of abs_to_phys() for iSeries.

a4a0f97020 [PATCH] ppc64: Remove redundant use of pointers in lmb code
The lmb code is all written to use a pointer to an lmb struct. But it's always
the same lmb struct, called "lmb". So we take the address of lmb, call it
_lmb and then start using _lmb->foo everywhere, which is silly.

This patch removes the _lmb pointers and replaces them with direct references
to the one "lmb" struct. We do the same for some _mem and _rsv pointers which
point to lmb.memory and lmb.reserved respectively.

This patch looks quite busy, but it's basically just:
s/_lmb->/lmb./g
s/_mem->/lmb.memory./g
s/_rsv->/lmb.reserved./g
s/_rsv/&lmb.reserved/g
s/mem->/lmb.memory./g

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
