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.

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.

This change has 3 goals:
- Have secondary cores be released into spin loops at their 'true'
address in SDRAM. Previously, secondary cores were put into spin
loops in the 0xfffffxxx address range which required that boot page
translation was always enabled while cores were in their spin loops.
- Allow the TLB window that the primary core uses to access the
secondary cores boot page to be placed at any address. Previously, a
TLB window at 0xfffff000 was always used to access the seconary cores'
boot page. This TLB address requirement overlapped with other
peripherals on some boards (eg XPedite5370). By default, the boot
page TLB will still use the 0xfffffxxx address range, but this can be
overridden on a board-by-board basis by defining a custom
CONFIG_BPTR_VIRT_ADDR. Note that the TLB used to map the boot page
remains in use while U-Boot executes. Previously it was only
temporarily used, then restored to its initial value.
- Allow Boot Page Translation to be disabled on bootup. Previously,
Boot Page Translation was always left enabled after secondary cores
were brought out of reset. This caused the 0xfffffxxx address range
to somewhat "magically" be translated to an address in SDRAM. Some
boards may not want this oddity in their memory map, so defining
CONFIG_MPC8xxx_DISABLE_BPTR will turn off Boot Page Translation after
the secondary cores are initialized.
These changes are only applicable to 85xx boards with CONFIG_MP defined.

Match determine_mp_bootpg() that was added for 86xx. We need this to
address a bug introduced in v2009.03 with 86xx MP booting. We have to
make sure to reserve the region of memory used for the MP bootpg() so
other u-boot code doesn't use it.
Also added a comment about how cpu_reset() is dealing w/an errata on
early 85xx MP HW.

Provide a board_lmb_reserve helper function to ensure we reserve
the page of memory we are using for the boot page translation code.

The following changes are needed to be inline with ePAPR v0.81:
* r4, r5 and now always set to 0 on boot release
* r7 is used to pass the size of the initial map area (IMA)
* EPAPR_MAGIC value changed for book-e processors
* changes in the spin table layout
* spin table supports a 64-bit physical release address

Added the cpu command that provides a generic mechanism to get status,
reset, and release secondary cores in multicore processors.
Added support for using the ePAPR defined spin-table mechanism on 85xx.
