7afc45ad7d powerpc/85xx: Fix synchronization of timebase on MP boot
There is a small ordering issue in the master core in that we need to
make sure the disabling of the timebase in the SoC is visible before we
set the value to 0.  We can simply just read back the value to
synchronizatize the write, before we set TB to 0.

e81241af5a powerpc/85xx: Fix plat_mp_up() disabling of BPTR for CoreNet Platforms
Copying directly from ECM/PQ3 is not correct for how CoreNet based
platforms handle boot page translation.

9d64c6bb4a 85xx: Add support for not releasing secondary cores via 'mp_holdoff'
Some OSes require that secondary cores not be initialized when they
are booted (eg VxWorks).  By default when U-Boot is compiled with the
CONFIG_MP option all secondary cores are brought out of reset and held
in spinloops.  Setting the "mp_holdoff" environment variable to 'yes'
or '1' will cause U-Boot to leave secondary cores in their default
state.

54841ab50c Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.
The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands.  Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".

This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
	while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */	while (*++*argv) {
			switch (**argv) {
			case 'd':
				debug++;
				break;
			...
			default:
				usage ();
			}
		}
	}
	...
}

The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell.  With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
	error: increment of read-only location '*argv'

N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:

	while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
		char *arg = *argv;
		while (*++arg) {
			switch (*arg) {
			...

a47a12becf Move arch/ppc to arch/powerpc
As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.

Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.
