This macro is taken from s390, and allows more flexibility in
changing exception table format.
mpe: Put it in ppc_asm.h and only define one version using
stringinfy_in_c(). Add some empty definitions and headers to keep the
selftests happy.

generic_memcpy() is only called from copy_32.S, so there's no reason for
it to be global.

memset() uses instruction dcbz to speed up clearing by not wasting time
loading cache line with data that will be overwritten.
Some platform like mpc52xx do no have cache active at startup and
can therefore not use memset(). Allthough no part of the code
explicitly uses memset(), GCC may make calls to it.
This patch modifies memset() such that at startup, memset()
unconditionally skip the optimised bloc that uses dcbz instruction.
Once the initial MMU is set up, in machine_init() we patch memset()
by replacing this inconditional jump by a NOP

This patch adds a few optimisations in memcpy functions by using
lbzu/stbu instead of lxb/stb and by re-ordering insn inside a loop
to reduce latency due to loading

cacheable_memcpy uses dcbz instruction and is more efficient than
memcpy when the destination is in RAM. If the destination is in an
io area, memcpy_toio() is normally used, not memcpy
This patch renames memcpy as generic_memcpy, and renames
cacheable_memcpy as memcpy
On MPC885, we get approximatly 7% increase of the transfer rate
on an FTP reception

cacheable_memzero() which has become the new memset() and the old
memset() are quite similar, so just merge them.

cacheable_memzero uses dcbz instruction and is more efficient than
memset(0) when the destination is in RAM
This patch renames memset as generic_memset, and defines memset
as a prolog to cacheable_memzero. This prolog checks if the byte
to set is 0. If not, it falls back to generic_memcpy()
cacheable_memzero disappears as it is not referenced anywhere anymore

This partially reverts
commit 'powerpc: Remove duplicate cacheable_memcpy/memzero functions
("b05ae4ee602b7dc90771408ccf0972e1b3801a35")'
Functions cacheable_memcpy/memzero are more efficient than
memcpy/memset as they use the dcbz instruction which avoids refill
of the cacheline with the data that we will overwrite.

These functions are only used from one place each. If the cacheable_*
versions really are more efficient, then those changes should be
migrated into the common code instead.
NOTE: The old routines are just flat buggy on kernels that support
hardware with different cacheline sizes.

Now that 8xx can fixup dcbX instructions, start using them
where possible like every other PowerPc arch do.

This doesn't change any code, just renames things so we consistently
have foo_32.c and foo_64.c where we have separate 32- and 64-bit
versions.
