powerpc: Move code patching code into arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to be inlined. While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something different.

powerpc: Add ppc_function_entry() which gets the entry point for a function Because function pointers point to different things on 32-bit vs 64-bit, add a macro that deals with dereferencing the OPD on 64-bit. The soon to be merged ftrace wants this, as well as other code I am working on.

powerpc: Unify opcode definitions and support Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about. We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already have. Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions since older assemblers don't know about them.

powerpc: Add PPC_NOP_INSTR, a hash define for the preferred nop instruction A bunch of code has hard-coded the value for a "nop" instruction, it would be nice to have a #define for it.

powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errors Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to check for errors. For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly. While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *, as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change across the patch_branch() call.
