Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension
during a kernel build. Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.
This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

Add EVA cache flushing functions similar to non-EVA configurations.
Because the cache may or may not contain user virtual addresses, we
need to use the 'cache' or 'cachee' instruction based on whether we
flush the cache on behalf of kernel or user respectively.

Currently, Loongson-2 call protected_blast_icache_range() and others
call protected_loongson23_blast_icache_range(), but I think the correct
behavior should be the opposite. BTW, Loongson-3's cache-ops is
compatible with MIPS64, but not compatible with Loongson-2. So, rename
xxx_loongson23_yyy things to xxx_loongson2_yyy.
The patch fixes early boot hang with 3.13-rc1, introduced in commit
14bd8c0820 ("MIPS: Loongson: Get rid of Loongson 2 #ifdefery all over
arch/mips").

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.
