    [POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspace · 974a76f5
    Paul Mackerras authored
    This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device
    tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on
    POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM
    entries appropriately.
    
    Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s).
    If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we
    call identify_cpu again with this PVR value.  A value of 0x0f000001
    indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value
    of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various
    extensions disabled.  We also look for various other properties:
    ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr.
