In commit 8f5b8616, we introduced a dependency on libgcc, for the
__builtin_parityl() function in commit 6cfaa3ba.
However, if we're building with a biarch compiler, we may not have a
libgcc available.
This commit removes the __builtin_parityl() call, and replaces with the
equivalent instructions, and removes the dependency on libgcc.
Although this is untested, I have confirmed that the __builtin_parityl()
functions emits the same instructions (on power7 and power8, with
gcc-4.9) as we're using in the parity() function.

Blocklevel_smart_write() can write in a smart fashion which avoids the need
for the caller to erase the flash before writing, except it never actually
does the erase if it needs to.
Furthermore, a very simple optimisation can be made where it should detect
if it doesn't actually need to clear the flash, but still needs to write.
This optimisation is from flash_smart_write(), which, for reasons, should
continue to exist at least for now.
In the process, this also addresses a bug. blocklevel_smart_write()
operates on erase block covered by the write, detects to see if an erase
needs to be performed and if so, performs the erase and then performs the
write.
Currently blocklevel_smart_write() won't detect that a write can span two
erase blocks and that it should split this process in two. This patch fixes
that.

Previous work did away with some typesafety when adding the
blocklevel_device abstraction, this has resulted in the ability to
accidently call libflash low level code with a blocklevel_device which has
not been initialised by the libflash backend.
The end result will not be good. Best to reintroduce that low level calls
be called with libflashes own structures.

In order to access the flash on ARM (presumably code running on a BMC), the
hardware is involved. In order to access the flash on POWER (presumably
code running on a host), opal calls through the Linux MTD driver are
involved. In order to access the flash on x86 (presumably on a
developer/admin system), you can't but it would be nice to be able to
manipulate data which has come from the flash or will go onto the flash.
The pflash and the gard tool both can read and write to the 'flash' and
with the introduction of the blocklevel interface the details of how the
flash is read from and written to is sufficiently abstracted that these
tools don't need to know what they're running on.
What does differ is the setup, and not by too much either. This common code
pulls out the setup of the flash hardware on ARM, the searching for the
appropriate MTD device on power and generic blocklevel device init for all
three architectures.

There are some functions (notably: erase_chip and set_4b_mode) which cannot
be abstracted away by the blocklevel interface, this means that if they are
really needed (by pflash for example) then at the moment a program like
pflash would need to pass a blocklevel_device struct to libflash.
This forces libflash to trust that it was given a blocklevel that it did
init. If it didn't init it the container_of call will return junk and
libflash has no way to protect its self. This method (while very useful)
has destroyed type safety. As such, this commit reintroduces some
typesafety back into this stack.

For consumers who can't do better or who aren't to phased about

Currently libflash reads from files by using the dodgy file_flash.c which

It has become apparent that communication between blocklevel and its
backend may be necessarily, at least so that the backend can inform
blocklevel as to if an erase must be done before a write.
An erase before flag isn't strictly necessary as erases can be performed
regardless of whether they need to be or not, however, the caveat with that
is that when erases don't need to be performed, this is likely due to the
backend not having erase blocks and therefore it may be impossible to set a
sane value for erase blocks which would be used to erase before write.
This flag saves backends that don't need erases before write to have to lie
about an erase block size.

At the moment ECC reads and writes are still being handled by the low level
core of libflash. ECC should be none of libflashes concern, it is primarily
a hardware access backend.
It makes sense for blocklevel to take care of ECC but currently it has no
way of knowing. With some simple modifications (which are rudimentary at
the moment and will need a performance improvement) blocklevel can handle
ECC, and with a little more effort this can be extended to provide read and
write protection in blocklevel.

The ecc 'memcpy' style functions return success or fail in terms of the ECC
enum. This doesn't really make sense, use true or false. As the result the
ecc enum doesn't need to be exposed anymore, which makes more sense, not
clear why it was exposed in the first place.
Convert some of the ecc #defines to static inlines, shouldn't make any
difference but feels safer.
Fix minor stylistic and typo issues.

Blocklevel has no way to check that backends init the erase_mask correctly
and as such must trust them.
When a user calls blocklevel_get_info(), blocklevel has a chance to inspect
the return value and warn if the values do not match. This check happens on
every call which should be fine as it is doubtful that
blocklevel_get_info() will be called much.

Currently blocklevel_erase() will let any erase of any size get passed down

as well, however, not all future backends will.

libflash core is really good at accessing hardware flash devices. libffs is
really good at read FFS partitioned data and has been designed to use libflash
to read data.
Problems arise when FFS partitioned data exists on something other than
flash hardware, or the hardware cannot be accessed directly.
This interface should bridge the gap, allowing libffs to be used no matter
what the backing is for the data. This should allow for greater flexibility
for reading and writing, such as adding support read-only areas at a global
level as well as more straight forward usage of libffs for userspace bypassing
libflash entirely.

The word offset can be ambiguous, it can be unclear what offset the variable
refers to or what it is the offset of. As this library now has to deal with
flash with more than one libffs TOC, it makes sense to rename all uses of
'offset' to 'toc_offset' which relate to the offset of the TOC within in the
flash.

During init libflash calls low level functions without checking.
libflash states to backends that if they implement all the higher level
functions the lower level functions are optional (from libflash-priv.h):
If all functions of the high level interface are
implemented then the low level one is optional. A
controller can implement some of the high level one
in which case the missing ones will be handled by
libflash using the low level interface.
