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
MPC85XX, and P1/P2 families use only a single BAR register.
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).

This port was tested and successfully run on the following members of the PQ3
family: MPC8533, MPC8541, MPC8548, MPC8555.
The following major integrated peripherals are supported:
* On-chip peripherals bus
* OpenPIC interrupt controller
* UART
* Ethernet (TSEC)
* Host/PCI bridge
* QUICC engine (SCC functionality)
