Move mpc85xx.h to include/linux/fsl and rename it to svr.h as a common
header file.  This SVR numberspace is used on some ARM chips as well as
PPC, and even to check for a PPC SVR multi-arch drivers would otherwise
need to ifdef the header inclusion and all references to the SVR symbols.

As discussed before, please don't introduce yet another vendor specific
way to match a SoC ID from a device driver.

I've posted a patch for an extension to the soc_device infrastructure
to allow comparing the running SoC to a table of devices, use that
instead.

As I asked before, in which relevant maintainership capacity are you NACKing
this?

I don't know why that's important, but I suggested the creation of
drivers/soc/ as a place to have a more general place for platform
specific drivers as part of being maintainer for arm-soc, and
almost all changes to drivers/soc go through our tree.

Olof does about half the merges, but I do the majority of the reviews
for drivers/soc patches. See also
