For some obscure reason, we only set init_bootmem_done after initializing
bootmem when NUMA isn't enabled. We even document this next to the declaration
of that global in system.h which of course I didn't read before I had to
debug why some WIP code wasn't working properly...
This patch changes it so that we always set it after bootmem is initialized
which should have always been the case... go figure !

We're currently choking on mem=4g (and above) due to memory_limit
being specified as an unsigned long. Make memory_limit
phys_addr_t to fix this.

Randomise the lower bits of the stack address. More randomisation is good for
security but the scatter can also help with SMT threads that share an L1. A
quick test case shows this working:
int main()
{
int sp;
printf("%x\n", (unsigned long)&sp & 4095);
}
before:
80
80
80
80
80
after:
610
490
300
6b0
d80

After commit 598056d5af8fef1dbe8f96f5c2b641a528184e5a ("[POWERPC] Fix
rmb to order cacheable vs. noncacheable"), rmb() becomes a sync
instruction, which is needed to order cacheable vs noncacheable loads.
However smp_rmb() is #defined to rmb(), and smp_rmb() can be an
lwsync.
This restores smp_rmb() performance by using lwsync there and updates
the comments.

Change 2d1b2027626d5151fff8ef7c06ca8e7876a1a510 ("powerpc: Fixup
lwsync at runtime") removed __SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC, causing smp_wmb to
revert back to eieio for all CPUs. This restores the behaviour
intorduced in 74f0609526afddd88bef40b651da24f3167b10b2 ("powerpc:
Optimise smp_wmb on 64-bit processors").

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
