Paul Mackerras a23414beb6 ppc/powerpc: workarounds for old Open Firmware versions
This adds code to work around some problems with old versions of
Open Firmware, such as on the early powermacs (7500 etc.) and the
"Longtrail" CHRP machine.  On these machines we have to claim
the physical and virtual address ranges explicitly when claiming
memory and then set up a V->P mapping.

The Longtrail has more problems: setprop doesn't work, and we have
to set an "allow-reclaim" variable to 0 in order to get claim on
physical memory ranges to fail if the memory is already claimed.

Paul Mackerras c49888203d powerpc: Fixes to get the Longtrail CHRP a bit further
Talk about buggy firmware...  the OF on the Longtrail returns 0
from the claim client service rather than -1 when the claim fails.
It also has no device_type on the /memory node and blows up if
the output buffer for package-to-path is too big.

This also fixes a bug with calling alloc_up with align == 0, where
we did _ALIGN_UP(alloc_bottom, 0) which will end up as 0.

Lastly, we now check the return value (in r3) from calling the
prom, and return -1 from call_prom if we get a negative value back.
That is supposed to indicate that the requested client service
doesn't exist.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
