5dfe4c964a [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

a7f67bdf2c [POWERPC] Constify & voidify get_property()
Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

powerpc core changes.

e8222502ee [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

2ef9481e66 [PATCH] powerpc: trivial: modify comments to refer to new location of files
This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree.  I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

a7f290dad3 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.

Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.

I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

799d6046d3 [PATCH] powerpc: merge code values for identifying platforms
This patch merges platform codes.  systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32.  Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.

f4fcbbe9a7 powerpc: Merge remaining RTAS code
This moves rtas-proc.c and rtas_flash.c into arch/powerpc/kernel, since
cell wants them as well as pseries (and chrp can use rtas-proc.c too,
at least in principle).  rtas_fw.c is gone, with its bits moved into
rtas_flash.c and rtas.c.
