Subject:
ePAPR represents hardware threads as cpu node properties in device tree.
So with existing QEMU, hardware threads are simply exposed as vcpus with
one hardware thread.
The e6500 core shares TLBs between hardware threads. Without tlb write
conditional instruction, the Linux kernel uses per core
Now that AltiVec and hardware thread support is in place enable e6500 core.

Remove unnecessary arguments that stem from this.

We currently decide at compile-time which of the SPE or AltiVec units to
support exclusively. Guard kernel defines with CONFIG_SPE_POSSIBLE and
CONFIG_PPC_E500MC and remove shared defines.

Powerpc timer implementation is a copycat version of s390. Now that they removed

The first patch answers a demand for inline arch functions.
(There is a lot of constant functions that could be inlined as well.)
Second patch digs a bit into the history of KVM and removes a useless
argument that seemed suspicious when preparing the
