      powerpc/pci: Add ppc_md.discover_phbs() · 5537fcb3
      Oliver O'Halloran authored
      On many powerpc platforms the discovery and initalisation of
      pci_controllers (PHBs) happens inside of setup_arch(). This is very early
      in boot (pre-initcalls) and means that we're initialising the PHB long
      before many basic kernel services (slab allocator, debugfs, a real ioremap)
      are available.
      
      On PowerNV this causes an additional problem since we map the PHB registers
      with ioremap(). As of commit d538aadc ("powerpc/ioremap: warn on early
      use of ioremap()") a warning is printed because we're using the "incorrect"
      API to setup and MMIO mapping in searly boot. The kernel does provide
      early_ioremap(), but that is not intended to create long-lived MMIO
      mappings and a seperate warning is printed by generic code if
      early_ioremap() mappings are "leaked."
      
      This is all fixable with dumb hacks like using early_ioremap() to setup
      the initial mapping then replacing it with a real ioremap later on in
      boot, but it does raise the question: Why the hell are we setting up the
      PHB's this early in boot?
      
      The old and wise claim it's due to "hysterical rasins." Aside from amused
      grapes there doesn't appear to be any real reason to maintain the current
      behaviour. Already most of the newer embedded platforms perform PHB
      discovery in an arch_initcall and between the end of setup_arch() and the
      start of initcalls none of the generic kernel code does anything PCI
      related. On powerpc scanning PHBs occurs in a subsys_initcall so it should
      be possible to move the PHB discovery to a core, postcore or arch initcall.
      
      This patch adds the ppc_md.discover_phbs hook and a core_initcall stub that
      calls it. The core_initcalls are the earliest to be called so this will
      any possibly issues with dependency between initcalls. This isn't just an
      academic issue either since on pseries and PowerNV EEH init occurs in an
      arch_initcall and depends on the pci_controllers being available, similarly
      the creation of pci_dns occurs at core_initcall_sync (i.e. between core and
      postcore initcalls). These problems need to be addressed seperately.
