  • This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
    powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
    board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
    macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
    device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

    We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
    _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
    changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
    _machine.

  • The flattened device tree is the only supported way of booting ARCH=powerpc
    kernels on non Open Firmware machines. The documentation for the flattened
    tree format and contents has been discussed on mailing lists and lately has
    been living in the dtc git tree. Really, it ought to go in the kernel's
    Documentation directory for maximum visibility.

    - Several misspellings of function/functionality
    - infomation
    - memeory
    - Recieved
    - wether
    and possibly others which I forgot ;-)
    Trailing whitespaces on the same line as the typo are also deleted.

  • The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

    - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
    - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
    - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
    - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
    - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.

    This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
    as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

  • 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!
