While booting a 64bit kernel, there is a small timeframe where OF and the kernel communicate with each other. Within that timeframe, DSI/ISI interrupts may occur, because some memory is not mapped yet.
Right now in case that happens, we jump into the DSI/ISI interrupt handler which clobbers the high 32 bits of the kernel's registers. In order to circumvent that, let's save/restore all 64 bits of all kernel registers when we get a DSI/ISI interrupt.
This patch enables a PPC64 Linux kernel to boot up to the point where it tries to set up the SLB entries (slbmte), which is not yet implemented in qemu.
v2 implements handling for the HIOR register, bringing interrupt handlers to RAM.

It gets up to the boot prompt and works rather good so far, though I haven't been able to run a kernel yet.
For more recent PowerPC CPUs the PTE layout has changed, so we need to take that into account and create PTEs according to the new layout and at the new physical positions.

It is needed to boot Fedora-10 as we must specify the path to the yaboot.conf.
To boot Fedora:
boot cd: conf=cd:,\ppc\ppc32\yaboot.conf
so "bootpath" is "cd:", and "bootargs" is "conf=cd:,\ppc\ppc32\yaboot.conf"

To keep compatibility with yaboot (tested with debian install CD),
put in bootpath a fully qualified path (<device>:<partition>,<filename>)
git-svn-id: svn://coreboot.org/openbios/openbios-devel@442 f158a5a8-5612-0410-a976-696ce0be7e32
and pciids.sourceforge.net.
Also fix a confusion between Sabre and Simba device IDs.

<boot-script>boot &device;:1,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm</boot-script>.
This would evaluate to boot cd:0,1\suseboot\yaboot.ibm which results
in a file not found error (seen on many openSUSE ppc media).
With this patch the above will evaluate to boot cd:0,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm
and yaboot will load.

The current implementation of the milliseconds prom call on PowerPC is
totally buggy:
- The timer frequency returned by get_timer_freq() does not correspond
to the timer which is read.
- The dividend and the divisor of the division are swapped
- If called very often, this function is not precise
- Depending on the timer frequency and of the frequency of the calls,
the variable overflow after a few dozen of seconds.
Please find in this patch a totally new implementation. This fixes the
problem observed with the quik when a timeout is defined.
The timer frequency is defined using #define, I wonder if there is a
better place to put it.
It reads both low and high part of the timer to make sure there is no
overflow. It also removes the function that returns 0 on the first call
as this is not needed according to IEEE 1275-1994. Finally it computes
the real value of the timer each time, instead of adding a small value
to a variable at each function calls, in order to get a correct
precision if this method is call very often.

If arch is ppc and machine arch id is heathrow, we create:
- properties in root node for a powermac beige
(Linux says "Powermac G3 (Silk)")
- "AAPL,interrupts" and "AAPL,address" properties in PCI device tree.

Load two first sectors of the partition and check quik signature ('QUIK').
If it is quik, execute it to boot.
Currently partition and parameter are hardcoded to "hd:2" and "Linux".

7.1 Calling Convention:
Client interface preserves: msr, cr, r1, r2, r13-r31, sprg0-3, fpscr, f0-f31,
sr0-sr15, other SPRs.
This patch modifies of_client_callback(), to preserve r1, r2, r4-r31.
This is needed to be able to execute the first stage of quik which
supposes r7 is unmodified.

Move non-vector code to higher memory addresses to free vector area.
Rename entry point _start to _entry so that it will not conflict with
ldscript _start.
