This is a cleaned up set of the initial prep patches from the pcrel series, dealing with regularising addressing variables from asm and using helper macros more consistently.
Nothing really new, this is more complete, splits out the changes more logically, adds changelog/comments, and avoids touching ppc32 much (only slight comment change and interrupt stack magic number change). Patch 2 is probably actually required before we make the TOC readonly at runtime, because there is one case (hcall_tracepoint_refcount) that puts read-write data in the TOC section.
