Stefan Roese 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.

BEDBUG Support for U-Boot
--------------------------
These changes implement the bedbug (emBEDded deBUGger) debugger in U-Boot.
A specific implementation is made for the AMCC 405 processor but other flavors
can be easily implemented.
#####################
### Modifications ###
#####################
./common/Makefile
Included cmd_bedbug.c and bedbug.c in the Makefile.
./common/command.c
Added bedbug commands to command table.
./common/board.c
Added call to initialize debugger on startup.
./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/Makefile
Added bedbug_405.c to the Makefile.
./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/start.S
Added code to handle the debug exception (0x2000) on the 405.
Also added code to handle critical exceptions since the debug
is treated as critical on the 405.
./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/traps.c
Added more detailed output for the program exception to tell
if it is an illegal instruction, privileged instruction or
a trap. Also added debug trap handler.
./include/ppc_asm.tmpl
Added code to handle critical exceptions
#################
### New Stuff ###
#################
./include/bedbug/ppc.h
./include/bedbug/regs.h
./include/bedbug/bedbug.h
./include/bedbug/elf.h [obsoleted by new include/elf.h]
./include/bedbug/tables.h
./include/cmd_bedbug.h
./common/cmd_bedbug.c
./common/bedbug.c
Bedbug library includes code for assembling and disassembling
PowerPC instructions to/from memory as well as handling
hardware breakpoints and stepping through code. These
routines are common to all PowerPC processors.
./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/bedbug_405.c
AMCC PPC405 specific debugger routines.
Bedbug support for the MPC860
-----------------------------
Changes:
common/cmd_bedbug.c
Added call to initialize 860 debugger.
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/Makefile
Added new file "bedbug_860.c" to the makefile
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/start.S
Added handler for InstructionBreakpoint (0xfd00)
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/traps.c
Added new routine DebugException()
New Files:
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/bedbug_860.c
CPU-specific routines for 860 debug registers.
