ppc can boot one single binary on prep, chrp and pmac boards. ppc64 can
boot one single binary on pseries and G5 boards. pmac has no legacy io,
probing for PC style legacy hardware (or accessing the legacy io area
regulary) may lead to a hard crash:
* add check for parport_pc, exit on pmac. 32bit chrp has no
->check_legacy_ioport, the probe is always called. 64bit chrp has
check_legacy_ioport, check for a "parallel" node
* add check for isapnp, only PReP boards may have real ISA slots. 32bit
PReP will have no ->check_legacy_ioport, the probe is always called.
* update code in i8042_platform_init. Run ->check_legacy_ioport first,
always call request_region. No functional change. Remove whitespace
before i8042_reset init.

xmon does not print a backtrace per default. This is bad on systems with
USB keyboard, the most needed info about the crash is lost.
print a backtrace during the very first xmon entry.
Booting with xmon=nobt disables the autobacktrace functionality.

Update PReP defconfig, disable some drivers for hardware that is not
used on those systems; enable SL82C105 IDE driver for Powerstack.

modprobe -v floppy on a Apple G5 writes incorrect stuff to dmesg:
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 2.88M
The reason is that the legacy io check happens very late,
when part of the floppy stuff is already initialized.
check_legacy_ioport() returns either -ENODEV right away, or it walks
the device-tree looking for a floppy node.

Only call into RTAS when booted with panic=0 because the RTAS call
does not return. The system has to be rebooted via the HMC or via the
management console right now. This is cumbersome and not what the
default panic=180 is supposed to do.
