8xx fixes GIT tree

8xx fixes GIT tree

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Hi, 

I've put up a GIT tree with some 8xx fixes. 

I plan to continue collecting fixes there - I encourage other folks 
working with v2.6 on 8xx to join in and contribute.

Its about time to setup a "TODO" list for v2.6 8xx, a few which I 
remember from the top of my head:

- merge CPU15 workaround
- merge PCMCIA driver
- merge arch/ppc/8xx_io/fec.c v2.6 update
- Remove misc-embedded.c

It should live somewhere in the web (wiki would be ideal).

It contains the following changes at the moment:

    [PATCH] handle access to non-present IO ports on 8xx

    Accessing non present "IO ports" on 8xx generates MCE's. The exception
    is easily triggered during insertion/removal/suspension of PCMCIA cards.

    The following adds exception table entries for I/O instructions on 8xx (copied
    from the original Paul's PowerMac code), and changes MachineCheckException() slightly 
    to cover 8xx specific's (on 8xx the MCE can be generated while
    executing the IO access instruction itself, which is not the case on
    PowerMac's, as the comment on traps.c details).

    [PATCH] 8xx: avoid "dcbst" misbehaviour with unpopulated TLB

     On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly "dcbst" from
     flush_dcache_icache) fault as write operation if there is an
     unpopulated TLB entry for the address in question. To workaround
     that, we invalidate the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst misbehaviour.

    [PATCH] 8xx commproc: Do not touch pte directly - use dma coherent API instead

    Touching the pte directly causes the 8Mbyte TLB entry to be invalidated.

    This has been fixed in v2.4 for ages.
