This is part of a long-term goal of merging Book-E and AIM into a single GENERIC
kernel. As more work is done, the struct may be optimized further.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
OF_getprop() to get encode-int encoded values from the OF tree. This is
a no-op at present, since all existing PowerPC ports are big-endian, but
it is a correctness improvement and will be required if we have a
little-endian kernel at some future point.
Where it is totally impossible for the code ever to be used on a
little-endian system (much of powerpc/powermac, for instance), I have not
necessarily made the appropriate changes.

writing approximately never (< 0.00000001% under heavy VM load, and it can
go for months without ever being acquired in normal operation). This
provides a 10% (2-minute) improvement in wall clock time for make -j32
buildworld on a 4-core 32-thread POWER8.
this change is to improve concurrency:
- Drop global state stored in the shadow overflow page table (and all other
global state)
- Remove all global locks
- Use per-PTE lock bits to allow parallel page insertion
- Reconstruct state when requested for evicted PTEs instead of buffering
it during overflow
This drops total wall time for make buildworld on a 32-thread POWER8 system
by a factor of two and system time by a factor of three, providing performance
20% better than similarly clocked Core i7 Xeons per-core. Performance on
smaller SMP systems, where PMAP lock contention was not as much of an issue,
is nearly unchanged.

pages would page fault forever when PMAP decided the evicted pages on
which the process was faulting was actually present and did not need to
be restored.

Requirements) systems from the projects/pseries branch. This in principle
includes all IBM POWER hardware released in the last 15 years with the
exception of POWER3-based systems when run in 64-bit mode. The main
development target, however, has been the PAPR logical partition support
that is the default target in KVM on POWER and QEMU -- mileage may vary
on actual hardware at present. Much of the heavy lifting here was done
by Andreas Tobler.
