4xx users: Big merge party now

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

All interested 4xx users, especially board maintainers, here's
what's going on with 4xx now.

I rewrote the core OCP stuff. It's much more like 2.5 (actually,
some changes I did will be pushed to 2.5 as well, like static
indexes). It's documented in the source. I hope it should clean
some of the worst horrors with #ifdef's and previous ocp_dev
confusion (was it a device or a driver ?)

HOWEVER, I only ported ibm405gp.c to the new table format, please
use it as an example to port other CPUs. I also only ported the
EMAC driver to the new core. It's actually a mostly rewritten
driver with working PHY support and other niceties.

Also, please use what I did for EMAC and MAL channel mapping as
an example on how to avoid hard-coding numbers with #ifdef's and
feel free to add some similar 'additions' structures for other
OCP drivers. (In 2.5, the additions might be filled differently
in the future)

The tree is at ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.4, it's a clone of
Marcelo's linux-2.4, NOT of linuxppc_2_4_devel, the intend is
to push that to marcelo as soon as enough board maintainers will
have tested & fixed the remaining CPU OCP tables and drivers.

I'm of course open to comments :)

Have fun !

Ben.

Where are the changes? I did not see anything on the commit list.

Because Ben made it before he told me to put it on the commit list
(triggers no longer are allowed on bkbits, so this is done by cron now).
The merge comments weren't very descriptive anyhow.
