[PATCH 2/2] [PPC64] change powerpc Makefile to use the new tuning options

This patch modifies the Makefile to use the new tuning options. Most of the work is done in Kconfig now, so this looks a little bit more clearly (except the broken altivec hack). Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [PPC64] change powerpc Makefile to use the new tuning options --- arch/powerpc/Makefile | 2

This patch replaces CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY by (CONFIG_OPT_EXCLUSIVE && CONFIG_TUNE_POWER4). This gets overwritten in the next patch. It also introduces integer values of CPU generations. This is useful to enable features available only since a certain CPU gen (see last hunk). Unfortunately, kbuild

CONFIG_POWER4 ... #endif ... #endif /* CONFIG_PPC64 */ in which POWER4 is always undefined, e.g. in include/asm-powerpc/mmu_context.h. Maybe this is a leftover from times, where 64-bit kernels where not supported on Powermacs. Is this 32-bit support still necessary? Greetings Marvin
