Subject: [GIT]: Sparc


1) Fix long standing bootup wedge wrt. NMIs, we need to disable NMIs
   when we enter the firmware for two reasons.  One so we don't
   deadlock on the PROM spinlock if we try to print things to the
   firmware console from an NMI.  Two, because many of OpenFirmware's
   routines do not like to be interrupted at all.  The latter can
   cause garbage characters over serial consoles and crashes.

   I'll be pushing this one to -stable.

2) Kill off the dinky sys_perfctr, perf_events should be used.

3) Fix some driver builds by providing big-endian io{read,write}*().

Please pull, thanks a lot!
