Renovate and improve the AIM Open Firmware support:
- Add RTAS (Run-Time Abstraction Services) support, found on all IBM systems
and some Apple ones
- Improve support for 32-bit real mode Open Firmware systems
- Pull some more OF bits over from the AIM directory
- Fix memory detection on IBM LPARs and systems with more than one /memory

sf buf allocation, use wakeup() instead of wakeup_one() to notify sf
buffer waiters about free buffer.
sf_buf_alloc() calls msleep(PCATCH) when SFB_CATCH flag was given,
and for simultaneous wakeup and signal delivery, msleep() returns
EINTR/ERESTART despite the thread was selected for wakeup_one(). As
result, we loose a wakeup, and some other waiter will not be woken up.

uses KOBJ inheritance to provide subclasses of the base 64-bit AIM MMU
class with additional methods for page table manipulation.
Many thanks to Peter Grehan for suggesting this design and implementing
the MMU KOBJ inheritance mechanism.
DPCPU_DEFINE and VNET_DEFINE macros, as these cause problems for various
people working on the affected files. A better long-term solution is
still being considered. This reversal may give some modules empty
set_pcpu or set_vnet sections, but these are harmless.

Instead of unconditionally emitting .globl's for the __start_set_xxx and
__stop_set_xxx symbols, only emit them when the set_vnet or set_pcpu
sections are actually defined.

performance on SMP Cell systems running without a hypervisor will be
suboptimal.
mappings need to end up in the kernel anyway since the kernel begins
executing in OF context. Separating them adds needless complexity,
especially since the powerpc64 and mmu_oea64 code gave up on it a long
time ago.
As a side effect, the PPC ofw_machdep code is no longer AIM-specific,
so move it to powerpc/ofw.
hypervisor infrastructure support:
- Fix coexistence of multiple platform modules in the same kernel
- Allow platform modules to provide an SMP topology
- PowerPC hypervisors limit the amount of memory accessible in real mode.
Allow the platform modules to specify the maximum real-mode address,
and modify the bits of the kernel that need to allocate
real-mode-accessible buffers to respect this limits.
work properly with single-stepping in a kernel debugger. Specifically,
these routines have always disabled interrupts before increasing the nesting
count and restored the prior state of interrupts after decreasing the nesting
count to avoid problems with a nested interrupt not disabling interrupts
when acquiring a spin lock. However, trap interrupts for single-stepping
can still occur even when interrupts are disabled. Now the saved state of
interrupts is not saved in the thread until after interrupts have been
disabled and the nesting count has been increased. Similarly, the saved
state from the thread cannot be read once the nesting count has been
decreased to zero. To fix this, use temporary variables to store interrupt
state and shuffle it between the thread's MD area and the appropriate
registers.

it will never match.
set_user_sr() itself caches the user segment VSID, there is no need for
cpu_switch() to do it again. This change also unifies the 32 and 64-bit
code paths for kernel faults on user pages and remaps the user SLB slot
on 64-bit systems when taking a syscall to avoid some unnecessary segment
exception traps.
concurrency bug. Since all SLB/SR entries were invalidated during an
exception, a decrementer exception could cause the user segment to be
invalidated during a copyin()/copyout() without a thread switch that
would cause it to be restored from the PCB, potentially causing the
operation to continue on invalid memory. This is now handled by explicit
restoration of segment 12 from the PCB on 32-bit systems and a check in
the Data Segment Exception handler on 64-bit.
While here, cause copyin()/copyout() to check whether the requested
user segment is already installed, saving some pipeline flushes, and
fix the synchronization primitives around the mtsr and slbmte
instructions to prevent accessing stale segments.
