Since commit e641eb03ab2b0 ("powerpc: Fix up the kdump base cap to
128M") memory for kdump kernel has been reserved at an offset of 128MB.
This held up well for a long time before running into boot failure on
LPARs having a lot of cores. Commit 7c5ed82b800d8 ("powerpc: Set
crashkernel offset to mid of RMA region") fixed this boot failure by
moving the offset to mid of RMA region. This change meant the offset is
either 256MB or 512MB on LPARs as ppc64_rma_size was 512MB or 1024MB
owing to commit 103a8542cb35b ("powerpc/book3s64/ radix: Fix boot
failure with large amount of guest memory").
But ppc64_rma_size can be larger as well with newer f/w. So, limit
crashkernel reservation offset to 512MB to avoid running into boot
failures during kdump kernel boot, due to RTAS or other allocation
restrictions.
Also, while here, use SZ_128M instead of opening coding it.

Trying to remove asm/ppc_asm.h from all places that don't need it
leads to several failures linked to firmware_has_feature().
To fix it, include asm/firmware.h in all files using
firmware_has_feature()
All users found with:
git grep -L "firmware\.h" ` git grep -l "firmware_has_feature("`

On large config LPARs (having 192 and more cores), Linux fails to boot
due to insufficient memory in the first memblock. It is due to the
memory reservation for the crash kernel which starts at 128MB offset of
the first memblock. This memory reservation for the crash kernel doesn't
leave enough space in the first memblock to accommodate other essential
system resources.
The crash kernel start address was set to 128MB offset by default to
ensure that the crash kernel get some memory below the RMA region which
is used to be of size 256MB. But given that the RMA region size can be
512MB or more, setting the crash kernel offset to mid of RMA size will
leave enough space for the kernel to allocate memory for other system
resources.
Since the above crash kernel offset change is only applicable to the LPAR
platform, the LPAR feature detection is pushed before the crash kernel
reservation. The rest of LPAR specific initialization will still
be done during pseries_probe_fw_features as usual.
This patch is dependent on changes to paca allocation for boot CPU. It
expect boot CPU to discover 1T segment support which is introduced by
the patch posted here:

Some functions defined in `arch/powerpc/kernel` (and one in `arch/powerpc/
kexec`) are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are
only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

ppc_md.iommu_save() is not set anymore by any platform after
commit c40785ad305b ("powerpc/dart: Use a cachable DART").
So iommu_save() has become a nop and can be removed.
ppc_md.show_percpuinfo() is not set anymore by any platform after
commit 4350147a816b ("[PATCH] ppc64: SMU based macs cpufreq support").
Last users of ppc_md.rtc_read_val() and ppc_md.rtc_write_val() were
removed by commit 0f03a43b8f0f ("[POWERPC] Remove todc code from
ARCH=powerpc")
Last user of kgdb_map_scc() was removed by commit 17ce452f7ea3 ("kgdb,
powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb support").
ppc.machine_kexec_prepare() has not been used since
commit 8ee3e0d69623 ("powerpc: Remove the main legacy iSerie platform
code"). This allows the removal of machine_kexec_prepare() and the
rename of default_machine_kexec_prepare() into machine_kexec_prepare()

After removal of DISCINTIGMEM the NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and NUMA
configuration options are equivalent.
Drop CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and use CONFIG_NUMA instead.
Done with
$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/CONFIG_NUMA/' \
$(git grep -wl CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)
$ sed -i 's/NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/NUMA/' \
$(git grep -wl NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)
with manual tweaks afterwards.

'mem=" option is an easy way to put high pressure on memory during
some test. Hence after applying the memory limit, instead of total
mem, the actual usable memory should be considered when reserving mem
for crashkernel. Otherwise the boot up may experience OOM issue.
E.g. it would reserve 4G prior to the change and 512M afterward, if
passing
crashkernel="2G-4G:384M,4G-16G:512M,16G-64G:1G,64G-128G:2G,128G-:4G",
and mem=5G on a 256G machine.
This issue is powerpc specific because it puts higher priority on
fadump and kdump reservation than on "mem=". Referring the following
code:
if (fadump_reserve_mem() == 0)
reserve_crashkernel();
...
/* Ensure that total memory size is page-aligned. */
limit = ALIGN(memory_limit ?: memblock_phys_mem_size(), PAGE_SIZE);
memblock_enforce_memory_limit(limit);
While on other arches, the effect of "mem=" takes a higher priority
and pass through memblock_phys_mem_size() before calling
reserve_crashkernel().
