PATCH 1/1 x86: OLPC: add support for calling into OpenFirmware (v2)

Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range 0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page table, we save that one entry (and restore it for the call into OFW).

This is currently only used by the OLPC XO; however, there's nothing restricting OFW's usage on other (x86) platforms.

... well, except for the fact that the protocol is insane, and not used by anything else ...

This should be added to struct boot_params as well as the various documentation files. I note also that this interrupts one of the largest available spans we have in this structure, but I guess there is very little that can be done about that.

We just cleared BSS -- there is no point in doing this.

This stuff is in high memory, or otherwise protected in the memory map, no? If so, there is absolutely no point in doing this this early; it can be done in C code just fine. The only thing that needs to be done is to same the value of %cr3 on entry (and not even the offset value of %cr3).

Again, please put the definition of the entire structure into struct boot_params as well as in the relevant documentation files.

It's really too bad that you didn't re-use the location used for struct efi_info since that is mutually exclusive and has a signature.

I won't pick on you for not using the platform ID since that is a rather new invention, but it would have been beneficial rather than ad hoc inventions all along...

Why are you still mucking around with swapping %cr3s? Once you have claimed top of the virtual address space, you can install your PGD permanently.
