Updates and enhancement to the ppc32 mv64x60 code:
- move code to get mem size from mem ctlr to bootwrapper
- address some errata in the mv64360 pic code
- some minor cleanups
- export one of the bridge's regs via sysfs so user daemon can watch for
  extraction events

e8834801bf [PATCH] ppc32: export cacheable_memcpy()
Add declaration and cacheable_memcpy().  I'll be needing this function in
new 4xx EMAC driver I'm going to submit to netdev soon.

IMHO, the better place for the declaration would be asm-powerpc/string.h,
unfortunately, ppc64 doesn't have this function, so asm-ppc/system.h is the
next best place.

patch (alpha, arm, ppc, ppc64) or still needs to be provided (parisc -- where
is its pcibios_resource_to_bus() ?).

When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly
kernel_restart is the function to use.   But in many instances
the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working
very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler.

This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that
callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling
restart.  emergency_restart() is expected to be callable
from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more
trying circumstances.

This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures.

e24c2d963a [PATCH] PCI: DMA bursting advice
After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind
of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.

Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
PCI.  There are three forms of the advice:

1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
   on some particular boundary for best performance.

2) Burst on some byte count multiple.  A DMA burst to some multiple of
   number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
   on an exact multiple for best performance.

   The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
   controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
   chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
   which hurts performance a lot.

3) Burst on a single byte count multiple.  Bursts shall end
   exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.

   Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way.  They
   disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
   boundary.

   Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
   That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
   add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
   and give advice accordingly.
