  • 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.

  • 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!
