ff8a8f2597 [POWERPC] add support for stopping spus from xmon
This patch adds support for stopping, and restarting, spus
from xmon. We use the spu master runcntl bit to stop execution,
this is apparently the "right" way to control spu execution and
spufs will be changed in the future to use this bit.

Testing has shown that to restart execution we have to turn the
master runcntl bit on and also rewrite the spu runcntl bit, even
if it is already set to 1 (running).

Stopping spus is triggered by the xmon command 'ss' - "spus stop"
perhaps. Restarting them is triggered via 'sr'. Restart doesn't
start execution on spus unless they were running prior to being
stopped by xmon.

Walking the spu->full_list in xmon after a panic, would mean
corruption of any spu struct would make all the others
inaccessible. To avoid this, and also to make the next patch
easier, we cache pointers to all spus during boot.

We attempt to catch and recover from errors while stopping and
restarting the spus, but as with most xmon functionality there are
no guarantees that performing these operations won't crash xmon
itself.

4767928394 [POWERPC] Fix xmon=off and cleanup xmon initialisation
My patch to make the early xmon logic work with earlier early param
parsing (480f6f35a1) breaks xmon=off.

No one does this obviously as xmon rocks, but it should really work
as documented.

While fixing that it struck me that we could move the xmon param
handling into xmon.c, and also consolidate the
xmon_init()/do_early_xmon logic into xmon_setup(). This means
xmon=early drops into xmon a little earlier on 32-bit, but it
seems to work just fine.

Tested on PSERIES and CLASSIC32.

23b8acb1cf [POWERPC] Cleanup include/asm-powerpc/xmon.h
For some reason we have two prototypes for xmon_init(), remove the
one in system.h.

No one calls xmon() anymore, debugger() is preferable, so we don't
need the prototype. And similarly no one calls xmon_printf().

Also update the include guards on xmon.h to match the standard
format, add copyright and license, and add comments to #endifs.

Built for pseries_defconfig and pmac32_defconfig.

fca5dcd483 powerpc: Simplify and clean up the xmon terminal I/O
This factors out the common bits of arch/powerpc/xmon/start_*.c into
a new nonstdio.c, and removes some stuff that was supposed to make
xmon's I/O routines somewhat stdio-like but was never used.

It also makes the parsing of the xmon= command line option common,
so that ppc32 can now use xmon={off,on,early} also.

f78541dcec powerpc: Merge xmon
The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by
the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact
the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').
