Subject: [PATCH] ieee1275: request memory with ibm,client-architecture-support

On PowerVM, the first time we boot a Linux partition, we may only get
256MB of real memory area, even if the partition has more memory.

This isn't really enough. Fortunately, the Power Architecture Platform
Reference (PAPR) defines a method we can call to ask for more memory.
This is part of the broad and powerful ibm,client-architecture-support
(CAS) method.

CAS can do an enormous amount of things on a PAPR platform: as well as
asking for memory, you can set the supported processor level, the interrupt
controller, hash vs radix mmu, and so on. We want to touch as little of
this as possible because we don't want to step on the toes of the future OS.

If:

 - we are running under what we think is PowerVM (compatible property of /
   begins with "IBM"), and

 - the full amount of RMA is less than 512MB (as determined by the reg
   property of /memory)

then call CAS as follows: (refer to the Linux on Power Architecture
Reference, LoPAR, which is public, at B.5.2.3):

 - Use the "any" PVR value and supply 2 option vectors.

 - Set option vector 1 (PowerPC Server Processor Architecture Level)
   to "ignore".

 - Set option vector 2 with default or Linux-like options, including a
   min-rma-size of 512MB.

This will cause a CAS reboot and the partition will restart with 512MB
of RMA. Grub will notice the 512MB and not call CAS again.

(A partition can be configured with only 256MB of memory, which would
mean this request couldn't be satisfied, but PFW refuses to load with
only 256MB of memory, so it's a bit moot. SLOF will run fine with 256MB,
but we will never call CAS under qemu/SLOF because /compatible won't
begin with "IBM".)

One of the first things Linux does while still running under OpenFirmware
is to call CAS with a much fuller set of options (including asking for
512MB of memory). This includes a much more restrictive set of PVR values
and processor support levels, and this will induce another reboot. On this
reboot grub will again notice the higher RMA, and not call CAS. We will get
to Linux, Linux will call CAS but because the values are now set for Linux
this will not induce another CAS reboot and we will finally boot.

On all subsequent boots, everything will be configured with 512MB of RMA
and all the settings Linux likes, so there will be no further CAS reboots.

(phyp is super sticky with the RMA size - it persists even on cold boots.
So if you've ever booted Linux in a partition, you'll probably never have
grub call CAS. It'll only ever fire the first time a partition loads grub,
or if you deliberately lower the amount of memory your partition has below
512MB.)
