On PowerNV systems, the rootfs is passed through kexec, which loads the rootfs
into memory and set two fdt entries to describe where the file is located in
the memory;
I need to pass this memory region to the md device as a mfs_root, but, current
md driver does not support two things:
* Just getting a pointer from an external (bootloader) memory. If I need to
workaround it, I would need to declare a static array and memcopy from this
external memory to this static variable.
* The size of the image. The usage of mfs_root_end, which is not a pointer,
seems to be not possible for this prestaged scenario.
This patch simply adds a new way to load mfs_root from memory.

Intel now provides comprehensive tables for all performance counters
and the various valid configuration permutations as text .json files.
Libpmc has been converted to use these and hwpmc_core has been greatly
simplified by moving to passthrough of the table values.
The one gotcha is that said tables don't support pentium pro and and pentium
IV. There's very few users of hwpmc on _amd64_ kernels on new hardware. It is
unlikely that anyone is doing low level optimization on 15 year old Intel
hardware. Nonetheless, if someone feels strongly enough to populate the
corresponding tables for p4 and ppro I will reinstate the files in to the
build.
Code for the K8 counters and !x86 architectures remains unchanged.

Make memmove the primary interface, but have bcopy be an alternative
entry point that jumps into memmove. This will slightly pessimize
bcopy calls, but those are about to get much rarer. Return dst always,

entry point if we ever remove bcopy entirely.

The core clock (armclk) on RockChip SoC is special.
It can derive it's clock from many PLLs but RockChip recommand to do it
from "apll" on old SoC and "npll" on new SoC. The reason for choosing npll
is that it's have less jitter and is more close to the arm core on the SoC.
r333314 added the core clock as a composite clock but due to it's specials
property we need to deal with it differently.
A new rk_clk_armclk type is added for this and it supports only the "npll"
as we don't run on old RockChip SoC that only have the "apll".
It will always reparent to "npll" and set the frequency according to a rate
table that is known to be good.
For now we set the "npll" to the desired frequency and just set the core clk
divider to 1 as its parent it just used for the core clk.
The main advantage of this is to allow us to exclude memory from being
used by the kernel. This may be from the memreserve property, or ranges
marked as no-map under the reserved-memory node.
More work is still needed to remove the physmap array. This is still used
for creating the DMAP region, however other patches need to be committed
before we can remove this.

IPMI access on PowerNV systems is done through the OPAL firmware. This adds a
simple attachment for communicating with the FSP/BMC on these machines. This
has been tested on a Talos POWER9 workstation, only in the bootup phase, noting
the successful attachment messages:
...
ipmi0: IPMI device rev. 0, firmware rev. 2.00, version 2.0, device support mask 0
ipmi0: Number of channels 2
...
The ipmi device has not been added to GENERIC64, but may be after further
testing. It may also eventually be added to the ipmi module at that point.
Summary:
PowerNV architectures (in the test case POWER9) export sensors via the device
tree, which are accessed via OPAL calls. This adds sysctl nodes for each
device in a generic fashion. New sysctl nodes are:
dev.opal_sensor.N.sensor
dev.opal_sensor.N.sensor_min
dev.opal_sensor.N.sensor_max
dev.opal_sensor.N.type
dev.opal_sensor.N.label
These are rooted at a parent attachment under opal, called opalsens. This does
not add support for the "sensor groups" defined in the device tree.
