Summary:
To make it easier to build a kernel with PowerISA 2.06 atomics (sub-word
atomics), add a kernel config option. User space still needs to specify
it as a CFLAG but that seems easier to do than for the kernel config.

The TCG implementation of mtmsrd in qemu blindly copies the entire register
to the MSR, instead of the specific bit positions listed in the ISA.
This means that qemu will prematurely switch endian out from under the
running code instead of waiting for the rfid, causing an immediate trap
as it attempts to interpret the next instruction in the wrong endianness.
To work around this, ensure PSL_LE is still set before doing the mtmsrd.
In the future, we may wish to just turn off translation and unconditionally
use rfid to switch to the ofmsr instead of quasi-switching to the ofmsr.
Add a new platform option so this can be disabled. (And so that we can
conditonalize additional QEMU-specific hacks in the platform code.)

The AmigaOne platform, encompassing the X5000 and A1222 at this time, is
based on the mpc85xx platform, but includes some things not listed in
the device tree. Some custom devices, like CPLD, could be added to the
device tree with an overlay, or other means. However, some cannot
easily be done, such as the power button interrupt.
The directory will also become a location to add AmigaOne platform drivers,

It turns out statistics accounting is very expensive in the pmap driver,
and doesn't seem necessary in the common case. Make this optional
behind a MOEA64_STATS #define, which one can set if they really need
statistics.
This saves ~7-8% on buildworld time on a POWER9.

Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.

Summary:
MPC85XX and QorIQ are very similar. When the DPAA dTSEC driver was
added, QORIQ_DPAA was brought in as a config option to support the differences
in hardware register settings between QorIQ (e500mc-, e5500- based) SoCs and
QUICC (e500v1/e500v2-based) SoCs, particularly in the Local Access Window (LAW)
target settings.
Unify these settings using macros to hide details and ease porting, and use a
new function (mpc85xx_is_qoriq()) to distinguish between QorIQ and QUICC SoCs at
runtime.
An alternative to using the function could be to use a variable initialized at
platform attach time, which may incur less overhead at runtime. Since it's not
in the critical path once booted, this optimization doesn't seem necessary at
first pass.

QorIQ SoCs (e5500 core, P5 family) have 2 BARs for local access windows, while

This also adds the QORIQ_DPAA option, mutually exclusive to MPC85XX, to handle
this difference.

Summary:
The RouterBoard uses a predefined partition map which doesn't exist in the fdt.
This change allows overriding the fdt slicer with a custom slicer, and uses this
custom slicer to define the flash map on the RouterBoard RB800.
D3305 converts the mpc85xx platform into a base class, so that systems based on
the mpc85xx platform can add their own overrides. This change builds on D3305,
and creates a RouterBoard (RB800) platform to initialize the slicer override.

This port includes the framebuffer driver, the PIC driver, a platform
driver and the GPIO driver. The IPC driver (to talk to IOS kernels) is
not yet written but there's a placeholder for it.
There are still some MMU problems and to get a working system you need to
patch locore32.S. Since we haven't found the best way yet to address that
problem, we're not committing those changes yet. The problem is related to
the different BAT layout on the Wii and to the fact that the Homebrew
loader doesn't clean up the special registers (including the 8 BATs)
before passing control to us.
You'll need a Wii with Homebrew loader and a TV that can do NTSC (for now).
