On ARM v7-M, when PROCINFO_INITFUNC (__v7m_setup) is called,
a stack is needed before calling the supervisor call (SVC),
which is used by the supervisor call to save the context.
Currently, __v7m_setup() prepares a temporary stack in the .text.init
section, which is is broken if the kernel is executing directly from
read-only memory.
In particular, this is the case for LPC43xx, which allows
to execute the kernel in-place from a serial flash through its SPIFI
controller.
This commit fixes the issue by seting an early stack to its usual location.
Also, __v7m_setup() is currently saving and restoring the previous
stack. That was bogus, because there's no stack previously set,
so this commit removes it.

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the
assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr'
instruction did not take account of their ISA.
Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new
macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM()
mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification
is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

This patch replaces the 'branch to setup()' instructions embedded
in the PROCINFO structs with the offset to that setup function
relative to the base of the struct. This preserves the position
independent nature of that field, but uses a data item rather
than an instruction.
This is mainly done to prevent linker failures on large kernels,
where the setup function is out of reach for the branch.

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).
We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.
Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

__v7m_setup_stack currently sits in the .proc.info.init section, and
thus creates a bogus proc info entry (which by the way matches any
unknown CPU IDs, due to the entry's mask being 0). Move it out of
there.

On v7-M the extended cpuid registers are not available from CP15 but they
are memory mapped in the System Control Space.
There isn't an equivalent available for CPUID_{CACHETYPE,TCM,TLBTYPE,MPIDR}.

This patch adds the base support for the ARMv7-M
architecture. It consists of the corresponding arch/arm/mm/ files and
various #ifdef's around the kernel. Exception handling is implemented by
a subsequent patch.
[ukleinek: squash in some changes originating from commit
b5717ba (Cortex-M3: Add support for the Microcontroller Prototyping System)
from the v2.6.33-arm1 patch stack, port to post 3.6, drop zImage
support, drop reorganisation of pt_regs, assert CONFIG_CPU_V7M doesn't
leak into installed headers and a few cosmetic changes]
