    powerpc/pci: Add ppc_md.discover_phbs() · 5537fcb3
    Oliver O'Halloran authored
    On many powerpc platforms the discovery and initalisation of
    pci_controllers (PHBs) happens inside of setup_arch(). This is very early
    in boot (pre-initcalls) and means that we're initialising the PHB long
    before many basic kernel services (slab allocator, debugfs, a real ioremap)
    are available.
    
    On PowerNV this causes an additional problem since we map the PHB registers
    with ioremap(). As of commit d538aadc ("powerpc/ioremap: warn on early
    use of ioremap()") a warning is printed because we're using the "incorrect"
    API to setup and MMIO mapping in searly boot. The kernel does provide
    early_ioremap(), but that is not intended to create long-lived MMIO
    mappings and a seperate warning is printed by generic code if
    early_ioremap() mappings are "leaked."
    
    This is all fixable with dumb hacks like using early_ioremap() to setup
    the initial mapping then replacing it with a real ioremap later on in
    boot, but it does raise the question: Why the hell are we setting up the
    PHB's this early in boot?
    
    The old and wise claim it's due to "hysterical rasins." Aside from amused
    grapes there doesn't appear to be any real reason to maintain the current
    behaviour. Already most of the newer embedded platforms perform PHB
    discovery in an arch_initcall and between the end of setup_arch() and the
    start of initcalls none of the generic kernel code does anything PCI
    related. On powerpc scanning PHBs occurs in a subsys_initcall so it should
    be possible to move the PHB discovery to a core, postcore or arch initcall.
    
    This patch adds the ppc_md.discover_phbs hook and a core_initcall stub that
    calls it. The core_initcalls are the earliest to be called so this will
    any possibly issues with dependency between initcalls. This isn't just an
    academic issue either since on pseries and PowerNV EEH init occurs in an
    arch_initcall and depends on the pci_controllers being available, similarly
    the creation of pci_dns occurs at core_initcall_sync (i.e. between core and
    postcore initcalls). These problems need to be addressed seperately.
