[RFC PATCH 2/9] powerpc: handle machine check in Linux host.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Move machine check entry point into Linux. So far we were dependent on
firmware to decode MCE error details and handover the high level info to OS.

This patch introduces early machine check routine that saves the MCE
information (srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr) to the emergency stack. We allocate
stack frame on emergency stack and set the r1 accordingly. This allows us
to be prepared to take another exception without loosing context. One thing
to note here that, if we get another machine check while ME bit is off then
we risk a checkstop. Hence we restrict ourselves to save only MCE information
and turn the ME bit on.

This is the code flow:

		Machine Check Interrupt
			|
			V
		   0x200 vector				  ME=0, IR=0, DR=0
			|
			V
	+-----------------------------------------------+
	|machine_check_pSeries_early:			| ME=0, IR=0, DR=0
	|	Alloc frame on emergency stack		|
	|	Save srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr on stack |
	+-----------------------------------------------+
			|
		(ME=1, IR=0, DR=0, RFID)
			|
			V
		machine_check_handle_early		  ME=1, IR=0, DR=0
			|
			V
	+-----------------------------------------------+
	|	machine_check_early (r3=pt_regs)	| ME=1, IR=0, DR=0
	|	Things to do: (in next patches)		|
	|		Flush SLB for SLB errors	|
	|		Flush TLB for TLB errors	|
	|		Decode and save MCE info	|
	+-----------------------------------------------+
			|
	(Fall through existing exception handler routine.)
			|
			V
		machine_check_pSerie			  ME=1, IR=0, DR=0
			|
		(ME=1, IR=1, DR=1, RFID)
			|
			V
		machine_check_common			  ME=1, IR=1, DR=1
			.
			.
			.
