The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

Preparing to move the parsing of reboot= to generic kernel code forces
the change in reboot_mode handling to use the enum.

This replaces an earlier patch from Viresh Kumar to move
the spear platform over to the generic DMA binding. This
version is now based on the merged multiplatform capable
spear platform, rather than the separate spear13xx/3xx/6xx
directories.

Device drivers should not access MMIO registers through hardcoded
platform specific address constants. Instead, we can pass the
MMIO token to the spear clock driver in the initialization routine
to contain that knowledge in the platform code itself.
Ideally, the clock driver would use of_iomap() or similar to
get the address, and that can be used later, but for now, this
is the minimal change.

No file outside of mach-spear includes these files any more,
so they don't have to be globally visible now.
