* powerpc: Convert some mftb/mftbu into mfsprScott Wood2013-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some CPUs (such as e500v1/v2) don't implement mftb and will take a trap. mfspr should work on everything that has a timebase, and is the preferred instruction according to ISA v2.06. Currently we get away with mftb on 85xx because the assembler converts it to mfspr due to -Wa,-me500. However, that flag has other effects that are undesireable for certain targets (e.g. lwsync is converted to sync), and is hostile to multiplatform kernels. Thus we would like to stop setting it for all e500-family builds. mftb/mftbu instances which are in 85xx code or common code are converted. Instances which will never run on 85xx are left alone.

* [POWERPC] Add non-OF serial console supportMark A. Greer2006-10-22
Add serial console support for non-OF systems. There is a generic serial console layer which calls a serial console driver. Included is the serial console driver for the ns16550 class of uarts. Necessary support routines are added as well. Signed-off-by: Mark A. Greer <mgreer@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
