this patch fixes PPC4xx IIC driver debug mode build with gcc 3.x compiler.
Noticed by Evgenij Polyakov.

this patch renames Kconfig entry for PPC4xx IIC driver making it more clear and
also adds a help text.

this patch changes IBM PPC4xx IIC driver to support new PPC OCP infrastructure
recently added to 2.6 kernel.

The AT24RF08 corruption prevention trick that is found in the i2c eeprom
driver is not correct. The prevention is activated only conditionally,
while it should be done all the time.

Bryan Rosenburg pointed out that the definition of PT_FPSCR in
include/asm-ppc64/ptrace.h is wrong.  The patch below fixes it.

I have made a mistake in the kernel header i2o-dev.h.  All structures there
begin with the "iop" first, but in my structure the order is reversed.

Somehow we've been placing the rtas error_log file at /proc/ppc64/error_log,
which breaks at least one application I know of.  It is supposed to be at
/proc/ppc64/rtas/error_log (this is the 2.4 behavior).

This patch updates several of the ppc32 defconfigs.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

On machines with Altivec (i.e.  G4 and G5 processors), the altivec
floating-point instructions can operate in two modes: one where
denormalized inputs or outputs are truncated to zero, and one where they
aren't.  In the latter mode the processor can take an exception when it
encounters denormalized floating-point inputs or outputs rather than
dealing with them in hardware.

This patch adds code to deal properly with the exception, by emulating the
instruction that caused the exception.  Previously the kernel just switched
the altivec unit into the truncate-to-zero mode, which works but is a bit
gross.  Fortunately there are only a limited set of altivec instructions
which can generate the assist exception, so we don't have to emulate the
whole altivec instruction set.

This patch also makes sure that we always have a handler for the altivec
unavailable exception.  Without this, if you run a kernel that is not
configured for altivec support on a machine with altivec, it works fine
until a user process tries to execute an altivec instruction.  At that
point the kernel thinks it has taken an unknown exception and panics.  With
this patch it sends a SIGILL to the process instead.

This patch does nothing but fix up whitespace in three files in arch/ppc.
It deletes trailing blanks and tabs in several places and joins two lines
that didn't need to be split.

This patch adds preliminary support for the IBM PowerPC 750GX.  In summary
this part is a PPC750FX ramped to 1 GHz with a 1MB 4-way L2 and more
advanced I/O pipelining.  It is beginning to appear in embedded systems and
was rumored to be under evaluation inside Apple.  Tested on PVR 70020101;
please merge.
