And there are more CPUs or configurations that want to provide special
per-CPU information in /proc/cpuinfo. So I think there needs to be a
hook mechanism, such as a notifier.
This is a first cut only; I need to think about what sort of looking
the notifier needs to have. But I'd appreciate testing on MT hardware!

This patch adds support for probing the MSAP bit within the Config3
register in order to detect the presence of the MSA ASE. Presence of the
ASE will be indicated in /proc/cpuinfo. The value of the MSA
implementation register will be displayed at boot to aid debugging and
verification of a correct setup, as is done for the FPU.

The vpe_id field of struct cpuinfo_mips is only present when one of
CONFIG_MIPS_MT_{SMP,SMTC} is enabled. That means that any code accessing
which may compile without MT is currently forced to use an #ifdef.
Instead this patch provides an accessor macro, #ifdef'd appropriately
to prevent further #ifdef's elsewhere.

The Fixed Page Size TLB (FTLB) is a set-associative dual entry TLB. Its
purpose is to reduce the number of TLB misses by increasing the effective
TLB size and keep the implementation complexity to minimum levels.
A supported core can have both VTLB and FTLB.

boot_cpu_data is used the same as current_cpu_data but returns the CPU
data for CPU 0. This means it doesn't have to use smp_processor_id()
thus no need to disable preemption.

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.

Linux kernel 2.6.32 and later allocate address space from the top of the
kernel virtual memory address space.
This patch implements virtual memory size detection for 64 bit MIPS CPUs
to avoid resulting crashes.

Outlining fixes the issue were on certain CPUs such as the R10000 family
the delay loop would need an extra cycle if it overlaps a cacheline
boundary.
The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in
way incompatible with the kernel's inline assembly.
Relying on pure C for computation of the delay value removes the need for
explicit. The price we pay is a slight slowdown of the computation - to
be fixed on another day.

This is the main support code for the patch. Here we just add the
