powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses

This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does
not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before.

V2->V2
- Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

Converts to

int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

Converts to

int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

Converts to

int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

Converts to

memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

Converts to

__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++

Converts to

__this_cpu_inc(y)

"This is the powerpc new goodies for 3.17. The short story:

The biggest bit is Michael removing all of pre-POWER4 processor
support from the 64-bit kernel. POWER3 and rs64. This gets rid of a
ton of old cruft that has been bitrotting in a long while. It was
broken for quite a few versions already and nobody noticed. Nobody
uses those machines anymore. While at it, he cleaned up a bunch of
old dusty cabinets, getting rid of a skeletton or two.

Then, we have some base VFIO support for KVM, which allows assigning
of PCI devices to KVM guests, support for large 64-bit BARs on
"powernv" platforms, support for HMI (Hardware Management Interrupts)
on those same platforms, some sparse-vmemmap improvements (for memory
hotplug),

There is the usual batch of Freescale embedded updates (summary in the
merge commit) and fixes here or there, I think that's it for the
highlights"

A lot of the code in platforms/pseries is using non-machine initcalls.
That means if a kernel built with pseries support runs on another

Most of these cases are OK, though sometimes only due to luck. Some were

- Checking FW_FEATURE_LPAR which is set on ps3 & celleb.
* mobility_sysfs_init
