4b7775870b Introduce compat_u64 and compat_s64 types 
One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines.  A number of
drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.

Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
compat_u64 and compat_s64.  These are defined on all architectures to have
the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.

88ced03149 [PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includes 
include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
not have this yet.

This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.

8882a4da1c [PATCH] powerpc: Move various ppc64 files with no ppc32 equivalent to powerpc 
This patch moves a bunch of files from arch/ppc64 and
include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into
arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc.  The file affected are:
	abs_addr.h
	compat.h
	lppaca.h
	paca.h
	tce.h
	cpu_setup_power4.S
	ioctl32.c
	firmware.c
	pacaData.c

The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile
changes are:
	- #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form
	- trailing whitespace removed
	- comments giving full paths removed
	- pacaData.c renamed paca.c to remove studlyCaps
	- Misplaced { moved in lppaca.h

Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
