booting-without-of.rst is an ancient document that first outlined
Flattened DeviceTree on PowerPC initially. The DT world has evolved a
lot in the 15 years since and booting-without-of.rst is pretty stale.
The name of the document itself is confusing if you don't understand the
evolution from real 'OpenFirmware'. Most of what booting-without-of.rst
contains is now in the DT specification (which evolved out of the
ePAPR). The few things that weren't documented in the DT specification
are now.
All that remains is the boot entry details, so let's move these to arch
specific documents. The exception is arm which already has the same
details documented.

Since the au1xxx-ide IDE host driver is no longer needed its documentation
can be removed.

- boot_mem_map is removed, providing a nice cleanup made possible by the
recent removal of bootmem.
- Some fixes to atomics, in general providing compiler barriers for
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic plus fixes specific to Loongson CPUs or
MIPS32 systems using cmpxchg64().
- Conversion to the new generic VDSO infrastructure courtesy of Vincenzo
Frascino.
- Removal of undefined behavior in set_io_port_base(), fixing the
behavior of some MIPS kernel configurations when built with recent
clang versions.
- Initial MIPS32 huge page support, functional on at least Ingenic SoCs.
- pte_special() is now supported for some configurations, allowing among
other things generic fast GUP to be used.
- Miscellaneous fixes & cleanups.
And platform specific changes:
- Major improvements to Ingenic SoC support from Paul Cercueil, mostly
enabled by the inclusion of the new TCU (timer-counter unit) drivers
he's spent a very patient year or so working on. Plus some fixes for
X1000 SoCs from Zhou Yanjie.
- Netgear R6200 v1 systems are now supported by the bcm47xx platform.
- DT updates for BMIPS, Lantiq & Microsemi Ocelot systems.

Add documentation about the Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) present in the
Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs.
The Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) in Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs is a multi-function
hardware block. It features up to to eight channels, that can be used as
counters, timers, or PWM.
- JZ4725B, JZ4750, JZ4755 only have six TCU channels. The other SoCs all
have eight channels.
- JZ4725B introduced a separate channel, called Operating System Timer
(OST). It is a 32-bit programmable timer. On JZ4770 and above, it is
64-bit.
- Each one of the TCU channels has its own clock, which can be reparented
to three different clocks (pclk, ext, rtc), gated, and reclocked, through
their TCSR register.
* The watchdog and OST hardware blocks also feature a TCSR register with
the same format in their register space.
* The TCU registers used to gate/ungate can also gate/ungate the watchdog
and OST clocks.
- Each TCU channel works in one of two modes:
* mode TCU1: channels cannot work in sleep mode, but are easier to
operate.
* mode TCU2: channels can work in sleep mode, but the operation is a bit
more complicated than with TCU1 channels.
- The mode of each TCU channel depends on the SoC used:
* On the oldest SoCs (up to JZ4740), all of the eight channels operate in
TCU1 mode.
* On JZ4725B, channel 5 operates as TCU2, the others operate as TCU1.
* On newest SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channels 1-2 operate as TCU2, the
others operate as TCU1.
- Each channel can generate an interrupt. Some channels share an interrupt
line, some don't, and this changes between SoC versions:
* on older SoCs (JZ4740 and below), channel 0 and channel 1 have their
own interrupt line; channels 2-7 share the last interrupt line.
* On JZ4725B, channel 0 has its own interrupt; channels 1-5 share one
interrupt line; the OST uses the last interrupt line.
* on newer SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channel 5 has its own interrupt;
channels 0-4 and (if eight channels) 6-7 all share one interrupt line;
the OST uses the last interrupt line.
