powerpc/pasemi: Fix crash on reboot
commit f96972f2dc "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in
kernel_restart()"
added a call to disable_nonboot_cpus() on kernel_restart(), which tries
to shutdown all the CPUs except the first one. The issue with the PA
Semi, is that it does not support CPU hotplug.
When the call is made to __cpu_down(), it calls the notifiers
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, and then tries to take the CPU down.
One of the notifiers to the CPU hotplug code, is the cpufreq. The
DOWN_PREPARE will call __cpufreq_remove_dev() which calls
cpufreq_driver->exit. The PA Semi exit handler unmaps regions of I/O
that is used by an interrupt that goes off constantly
(system_reset_common, but it goes off during normal system operations
too). I'm not sure exactly what this interrupt does.
Running a simple function trace, you can see it goes off quite a bit:
# tracer: function

# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION

<idle>-0 [000] 1558.861437: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception
When the region is unmapped, the system crashes with:
