/**
 * @defgroup PPC Power Architecture
 * @details Power Architecture port for the GCC compiler.
 *
 * @section PPC_INTRO Introduction
 * This port supports cores implementing a 32 bits Power Architecture.
 *
 * @section PPC_STATES Mapping of the System States in the Power Architecture port
 * The ChibiOS/RT logical @ref system_states are mapped as follow in the
 * PowerPC port:
 * - <b>Init</b>. This state is represented by the startup code and the
 *   initialization code before @p chSysInit() is executed. It has not a
 *   special hardware state associated.
 * - <b>Normal</b>. This is the state the system has after executing
 *   @p chSysInit(). Interrupts are enabled.
 * - <b>Suspended</b>. Interrupts are disabled.
 * - <b>Disabled</b>. Interrupts are disabled. This state is equivalent to the
 *   Suspended state because there are no fast interrupts in this architecture.
 * - <b>Sleep</b>. This state is entered with the execution of the specific
 *   instruction @p <b>wait</b>.
 * - <b>S-Locked</b>. Interrupts are disabled.
 * - <b>I-Locked</b>. This state is equivalent to the SRI state, the
 *   @p chSysLockI() and @p chSysUnlockI() APIs do nothing (still use them in
 *   order to formally change state because this may change).
 * - <b>Serving Regular Interrupt</b>. Normal interrupt service code.
 * - <b>Serving Fast Interrupt</b>. Not present in this architecture.
 * - <b>Serving Non-Maskable Interrupt</b>. The PowerPC has several non
 *   maskable interrupt sources that can be associated to this state.
 * - <b>Halted</b>. Implemented as an infinite loop with interrupts disabled.
 * .
 * @section PPC_NOTES The PowerPC port notes
 * The PowerPC port is organized as follow:
 * - The @p main() function is invoked in privileged mode.
 * - Each thread has a private stack with extra storage for interrupts
 *   servicing.
 * - The Book-E Decrementer Timer, mapped on IVOR10, is used for system tick.
 * - Interrupt nesting is not currently supported.
 * .

/**
 * @defgroup PPC_CONF Configuration Options
 * @details PowerPC Configuration Options. The PowerPC port allows some
 * architecture-specific configurations settings that can be overridden by
 * redefining them in @p chconf.h. Usually there is no need to change the
 * default values.
 * - @p INT_REQUIRED_STACK, this value represent the amount of stack space used
 *   by an interrupt handler between the @p extctx and @p intctx
 *   structures.
 *   The default for this value is @p 128 bytes, this space is allocated for
 *   each thread so be careful in order to not waste precious RAM space.
 * - @p IDLE_THREAD_STACK_SIZE, stack area size to be assigned to the IDLE
 *   thread. Usually there is no need to change this value unless inserting
 *   code in the IDLE thread hook macro.
 * - @p ENABLE_WFI_IDLE, if set to @p TRUE enables the use of the @p <b>wait</b>
 *   instruction from within the idle loop. This is defaulted to 0 because
 *   it can create problems with some debuggers. Setting this option to 1
 *   reduces the system power requirements.

/**
 * @defgroup PPC_STARTUP Startup Support
 * @brief 
 * @details PPC startup code support. ChibiOS/RT provides its own generic
 * startup file for the PowerPC port.
 * Of course it is not mandatory to use it but care should be taken about the
 * startup phase details.
 *
 * @section PPC_STARTUP_1 Startup Process
 * The startup process, as implemented, is the following:
 * -# The stacks pointer is initialized into the area defined in the linker
 *    script.
 * -# The IVPR register is setup according to the linker script.
 * -# The R2 and R13 registers are set to pointer to the SDA areas according
 *    to the EABI specification.
 * -# An early initialization routine @p hwinit0 is invoked, if the symbol is
 *    not defined then an empty default routine is executed (weak symbol).
 * -# DATA and BSS segments are initialized.
 * -# A late initialization routine @p hwinit1 is invoked, if the symbol not
 *    defined then an empty default routine is executed (weak symbol).<br>
 *    This late initialization function is also the proper place for a
 *    @a bootloader, if your application requires one.
 * -# The @p main() function is invoked with the parameters @p argc and @p argv
 *    set to zero.
 * -# Should the @p main() function return a branch is performed to the weak
 *    symbol @p _main_exit_handler. The default code is an endless empty loop.
 * .
 * @section PPC_STARTUP_2 Expected linker symbols
 * The startup code starts at the symbol @p _boot_address and expects the
 * following symbols to be defined in the linker script:
 * - @p __ram_end__ RAM end location +1.
 * - @p __sdata2_start__ small constants data area
 * - @p __sdata_start__ small variables data area
 * - @p __romdata_start__ address of the data segment source read only data.
 * - @p __data_start__ data segment start location.
 * - @p __data_end__ data segment end location +1.
 * - @p __bss_start__ BSS start location.
 * - @p __bss_end__ BSS end location +1.
 * - @p __ivpr_base__ IVPR register initialization address.
