By not using the enumeration in sysctl.h (or even understanding it) the SN
platform placed their arch specific xpc directory on top of CTL_KERN and only
because they didn't have 4 entries in their xpc directory got lucky and didn't
break glibc.
This is totally irresponsible. So this patch entirely removes sys_sysctl
support from their sysctl code. Hopefully they don't have ascii name
conflicts as well.
And now that they have no ABI numbers add them to the end instead of the
sysctl list instead of the head so nothing else will be overridden.

udbg_early_init() is a function used on 64 bit systems, which
initializes whichever early udbg backend is configured. This function
is not called on 32-bit, however if btext early debug is enabled it
does have an explicit, inline, #ifdef-ed assignment performing
analagous initialization.
This patch makes things more uniform by folding the btext
initialization as an option into udbg_early_init() and calling that
from the 32-bit setup path.

This can be used for serial ports that are connected to an
OF platform bus but are not autodetected by the lecacy
serial support.
It will automatically take over devices that come from the
legacy serial detection, which usually is only one device.
In some cases, rtas may be set up to use the serial port
in the firmware, which allows easier debugging before probing
the serial ports. In this case, the "used-by-rtas" property
must be set by the firmware. This patch also adds code to the
legacy serial driver to check for this.

The code was setting up the debug bus for group 21 when profiling on the
event PPU CYCLES. The debug bus is not actually used by the hardware
performance counters when counting PPU CYCLES. Setting up the debug bus
for PPU CYCLES causes signal routing conflicts on the debug bus when
profiling PPU cycles and another PPU event. This patch fixes the code to
only setup the debug bus to route the performance signals for the non
PPU CYCLE events.

This is a clean up patch that includes the following changes:
-Some comments were added to clarify the code based on feedback
from the community.
-The write_pm_cntrl() and set_count_mode() were passed a
structure element from a global variable. The argument was
removed so the functions now just operate on the global directly.
-The set_pm_event() function call in the cell_virtual_cntr()
routine was moved to a for-loop before the for_each_cpu loop

For SCHED_RR tasks we can do some really trivial timeslicing. Basically
we fire up a time for every scheduler tick that searches for a higher
or same priority thread that is on the runqueue and if there is one
context switches to it. Because we can't lock spus from timer context
we actually run this from a delayed runqueue instead of a timer.
A nice optimization would be to skip the actual priority bitmap search
when there are less contexts than physical spus available. To implement
this I need a so far unpublished patch from Andre, and it will be added
after we have that patch in.
Note that right now we only do the time slicing for SCHED_RR tasks.
The code would work for SCHED_OTHER tasks aswell, but their prio
value is defered from the one the PPU thread has at time of spu_run,
and using this for spu scheduling decisions would make the code very
unfair. SCHED_OTHER support will be enabled once we the spu scheduler
knows how to calculcate cpu_context.prio (very soon)

This is the biggest patch in this series, and it reworks the guts of
the spu scheduler runqueue mechanism:
- instead of embedding a waitqueue in the runqueue there is now a
simple doubly-linked list, the actual wakeups happen by reusing
the stop_wq in the spu context (maybe we should rename it one day)
- spu_free and spu_prio_wakeup are merged into a single spu_reschedule
function
- various functionality is split out into small helpers, and kerneldoc
comments are added in various places to document what's going on.
- spu_activate is rewritten into a tight loop by removing test for
various impossible conditions and using the infrastructure in this
patch.
