PATCH 1/1 ppc44x: Remove PVR_440G* and change usages

The following patch changes the usages of PVR_440* into strcmp's with the cpu_name field, and removes the defines altogether. The Ebony portion was briefly tested.

While I applaud Tom's quest to eliminate _useless_ PVR defines I think this change looks strange.

It substitutes simple and clear (for those who are reading this code) check to something more involved without good reason, IMHO.

Also, it adds additional "point of failure" making this code more fragile. We never used those CPU ID strings anywhere in the kernel code before, people are used to the fact that they don't matter much (maybe only for user-mode) and it's possible that during some future "cleanup" code will break. One could say that we aren't allowed to change such strings because something in user-mode could break, and while I agree with that, I don't think it's good argument to _add_ additional point where code could break.

While talking with galak today on IRC, he mentioned one of the reason, why we may want to use string comparison instead of PVR.

For some chips, e.g. for 8272 family, there is NO way (even if we use IMMR[16-31] and REV_NUM in addition to PVR) to detect correctly CPU (which I think is pretty lame, but I digress :). For such cases, board port can "fixup" CPU name, if this information can be implied by the board type/revision/etc.

So, I think having a way to specify/name/detect CPU which is more general and even can solve some real problems, is beneficial. Therefore, I don't object anymore to such changes :).
