As it was decided not to export struct pt_regs to userspace, struct
sigcontext shouldn't be using it either. The pt_regs struct for OpenRISC
is kernel internal and the layout of the registers may change in the
future. The struct user_regs_struct is what is guaranteed to remain
stable, so struct sigcontext may use that instead.
This patch removes the usage of struct pt_regs in struct sigcontext and
makes according changes in signal.c to get the register layout right.
The usp field is removed from the sigcontext structure as this information
is already contained in the user_regs_struct.

Adds README file, TODO list, and a couple of other pieces that didn't seem
to fit into any other patch.

The OpenRISC Linux kernel conforms to the "generic" syscall interface which
contains only the reduced set of syscalls deemed necessary for new
architectures. Unfortunately, the uClibc port for OpenRISC does not fully
support this reduced set; as such, an additional patch available out-of-tree
needs to be applied to the kernel in order to use the current uClibc. This
is just a temporary measure until the libc port can be straightened out; it
is likely that OpenRISC will make the transition to glibc shortly where the
generic syscall interface is better supported.

Implements support for the OpenRISC timer which is a 28 bit cycle counter
that can be read out of a special purpose register. This counter is
used as a both a clock event and clocksource device.

This patch implements minimal PTrace support. The pt_regs structure is
not exported to userspace for OpenRISC; rather, the GETREGSET mechanism
is intended to be used and the registers, as such, exported in the core
dump format which is ABI stable. This is in line with what is intended
for new architectures as of 2.6.34 and has the advantage of permitting
the layout of the registers on the kernel stack (as per pt_regs) to be
freely modified.

The OpenRISC architecture uses the device tree infrastructure for the
platform description. This is currently limited to having a device tree
built into the kernel, but work is underway within the OpenRISC project
to define how this device tree blob should be passed into the kernel from
an external resource.
Patch contains a single example DTS file to go with the defconfig for
or1ksim.
