This RFC is to validate the concept of static_call on powerpc.
Highly copied from x86.
It replaces ppc_md.get_irq() which is called at every IRQ, by
a static call.
When updating the call, we just replace the instruction at the
trampoline address by a relative jump to the function.
For the time

Now that there's a platform that can make good use of it, here's
a series that can prevent the hash MMU code being built for 64s
platforms that don't need it.

Introduce a new option CONFIG_PPC_64S_HASH_MMU which allows the 64s hash
MMU code to be compiled out if radix is selected and the minimum
supported CPU type is POWER9 or higher, and KVM is not selected.
This saves 128kB kernel image size (90kB text) on powernv_defconfig
minus KVM, 350kB on pseries
Microwatt implements a subset of ISA v3.0 which is equivalent to
the POWER9_CPU selection.
