    [POWERPC] ps3: Fix no storage devices found
    
    Fix probing of PS3 storage devices: in the success case, we should set
    `error' to zero, not `result'.
    
    Without this patch no storage devices are found.

    [POWERPC] Fix for assembler -g
    
    ppc64 does the unusual thing of using #include on a compiler-generated
    assembly file (lparmap.s) from an assembly source file (head_64.S).
    This runs afoul of my recent patch to pass -gdwarf2 to the assembler
    under CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO.  This patch avoids the problem by disabling
    DWARF generation (-g0) when producing lparmap.s.

    [POWERPC] Fix small race in 44x tlbie function
    
    The 440 family of processors don't have a tlbie instruction.  So, we
    implement TLB invalidates by explicitly searching the TLB with tlbsx.,
    then clobbering the relevant entry, if any.  Unfortunately the PID for
    the search needs to be stored in the MMUCR register, which is also
    used by the TLB miss handler.  Interrupts were enabled in _tlbie(), so
    an interrupt between loading the MMUCR and the tlbsx could cause
    incorrect search results, and thus a failure to invalide TLB entries
    which needed to be invalidated.
    
    This fixes the problem in both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc by inhibiting
    interrupts (even critical and debug interrupts) across the relevant
    instructions.

    [POWERPC] Remove unused code causing a compile warning
    
    AFAICT, nobody is using ft_ordered(), and it causes a build warning
    to be generated.  This patch cleans that up by removing the function
    and the commented-out code that calls it.

    [POWERPC] cell: Fix errno for modular spufs_create with invalid neighbour
    
    At present, spu_create with an invalid neighbo(u)r will return -ENOSYS,
    not -EBADF, but only when spufs.o is built as a module.
    
    This change adds the appropriate errno, making the behaviour the same
    as the built-in case.
