We were not doing alignment properly when remapping the kernel image.
What we want is a 4MB aligned physical address to map at KERNBASE.
Mistakedly we were 4MB aligning the virtual address where the kernel
initially sits, that's wrong.
Instead, we should PAGE align the virtual address, then 4MB align the
physical address result the prom gives to us.

On the boot processor, we need to do the move onto the Linux trap
table a little bit differently else we'll take unhandlable faults in
the firmware address space.
Previously we would do the following:
1) Disable PSTATE_IE in %pstate.
2) Set %tba by hand to sparc64_ttable_tl0
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
trap registers.
4) Call prom_set_traptable()
That doesn't work very well actually with the way we boot the kernel
VM these days. It worked by luck on many systems because the firmware
accesses for the prom_set_traptable() call happened to be loaded into
the TLB already, something we cannot assume.
So the new scheme is this:
1) Clear PSTATE_IE in %pstate and set %pil to 15
2) Call prom_set_traptable()
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
trap registers.
and this works quite well. This sequence has been moved into a
callable function in assembler named setup-trap_table(). The idea is
that eventually trampoline.S can use this code as well. That isn't
possible currently due to some complications, but eventually we should
be able to do it.
Thanks to Meelis Roos for the Ultra5 boot failure report.

Instead of code patching to handle the page size fields in
the context registers, just use variables from which we get
the proper values.

We were not calling kernel_mna_trap_fault() correctly.
Instead of being fancy, just return 0 vs. -EFAULT from
the assembler stubs, and handle that return value as
appropriate.
Create an "__retl_efault" stub for assembler exception
table entries and use it where possible.

The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting
with an instruction sequence like this:
ba,pt %xcc, kvmap_load
xor %g2, %g4, %g5
succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table
walk starting at swapper_pg_dir.
We first take over the trap table from the firmware. Then, using this
constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build
the kernel page tables for the linear mapping.
After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which
will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk.
With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial.

Instead of all of this cpu-specific code to remap the kernel
to the correct location, use portable firmware calls to do
this instead.
What we do now is the following in position independant
assembler:
chosen_node = prom_finddevice("/chosen");
prom_mmu_ihandle_cache = prom_getint(chosen_node, "mmu");
vaddr = 4MB_ALIGN(current_text_addr());
prom_translate(vaddr, &paddr_high, &paddr_low, &mode);
prom_boot_mapping_mode = mode;
prom_boot_mapping_phys_high = paddr_high;
prom_boot_mapping_phys_low = paddr_low;
prom_map(-1, 8 * 1024 * 1024, KERNBASE, paddr_low);
and that replaces the massive amount of by-hand TLB probing and
programming we used to do here.
The new code should also handle properly the case where the kernel
is mapped at the correct address already (think: future kexec
support).
Consequently, the bulk of remap_kernel() dies as does the entirety
of arch/sparc64/prom/map.S
We try to share some strings in the PROM library with the ones used
at bootup, and while we're here mark input strings to oplib.h routines
with "const" when appropriate.
There are many more simplifications now possible. For one thing, we
can consolidate the two copies we now have of a lot of cpu setup code
sitting in head.S and trampoline.S.
This is a significant step towards CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.

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!
