The purpose of this serie is to activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.

Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
- It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
overflows.
- Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are
leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult.

Changes since RFC v2:
 - Removed the modification of names in asm-offsets
 - Created a rule in arch/powerpc/Makefile to append the offset of current->cpu in CFLAGS
 - Modified asm/smp.h to use the offset set in CFLAGS
 - Squashed the renaming of THREAD_INFO to TASK_STACK in the preparation patch
 - Moved the modification of current_pt_regs in the patch activating CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK

Changes since RFC v1:
 - Removed the first patch which was modifying header inclusion order in timer
 - Modified some names in asm-offsets to avoid conflicts when including asm-offsets in C files
 - Modified asm/smp.h to avoid having to include linux/sched.h (using asm-offsets instead)
 - Moved some changes from the activation patch to the preparation patch.

Christophe Leroy (7):
  book3s/64: avoid circular header inclusion in mmu-hash.h
  powerpc: Prepare for moving thread_info into task_struct
  powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK
  powerpc: regain entire stack space
  powerpc: 'current_set' is now a table of task_struct pointers
  powerpc/32: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO and rename TI_CPU
  powerpc/64: Modify CURRENT_THREAD_INFO()
