When debugging or examining the performance of a system it can be useful
to examine the effect of L2 prefetching. Provide an optional debugfs
entry to allow a user to enable or disable L2 prefetching.

The microMIPS microassembler is only suitable for configurations where
the kernel itself is built to microMIPS machine code and not where only
user microMIPS software is supported. The former is controlled with the
CPU_MICROMIPS configuration setting, whereas SYS_SUPPORTS_MICROMIPS is
used for the latter.
Not only that, but with a given microMIPS vs standard MIPS kernel
configuration only one microassembler is needed, that matches the ISA
selected -- CP0.Config3.ISAOnExc is mandatory on microMIPS processors,
so there is never a need to mix microMIPS and standard MIPS code.
Consequently build only the microassembler that matches the ISA selected
for the kernel.

Prepare of a next patch which will call tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd on
microMIPS. MicroMIPS complains if the called code s not in the .text
section. To fix this we generate code into space reserved in
arch/mips/mm/tlb-funcs.S
While there, move the rest of the generated functions (handle_tlbl,
handle_tlbs, handle_tlbm) to the same file.

Add new file 'uasm-micromips.c' that allows the micro assembler
to generate microMIPS ISA code. It can be included in the kernel
alongside the classic ISA as long as the platform supports the
microMIPS ISA.

(cherry picked from commit 5f011a866afbd03a5379f67f4e70e5efbdfc16e9)
Split 'uasm.c' into two files. The new file 'uasm-mips.c' has the
functions specific to the classic MIPS ISA. The 'uasm.c' file
contains common code that can be used by classic or other ISAs
that could be supported by the kernel.

Remove usage of the '__attribute__((alias("...")))' hack that aliased
to integer arrays containing micro-assembled instructions. This hack
breaks when building a microMIPS kernel. It also makes the code much
easier to understand.

Adding subdirs-ccflags-y := -Werror to arch/mips/Kbuild
let us in one go cover all files with -Werror.
In addition this allows us to remove the
individual -Werror definition in various Makefile.
Adding the definition to Kbuild as a recursive
option help us not to forget to do so.
With this change we now compile arch/mips/kernel/cpufreq with -Werror
One drawback:
When specifying a subdirectory covered by the Kbuild file like this:
make arch/mips/kernel/
then kbuild fails to pick up the -Werror definition.

Remove arch-specific show_mem() in favor of the generic version.
This also removes the following redundant information display:
- pages in swapcache, printed by show_swap_cache_info()
where show_mem() calls show_free_areas(), which calls
show_swap_cache_info().
And show_mem() does now actually print something on configurations
with multiple nodes.

Fold the SB-1 specific implementation of clear_page/copy_page in the
generic version, and rewrite that one in tlbex style. The immediate
benefits:
- It converts the compile-time workaround for SB-1 pass 1 prefetches
to a more efficient run-time check.
- It allows adjustment of loop unfolling, which helps to reduce the
number of redundant cdex cache ops.
- It fixes some esoteric cornercases (the cache line length calculations
can go wrong, and support for 64k pages without prefetch instructions
will overflow the addiu immediate).
- Somewhat better guesses of "good" prefetch values.

This patch moves the micro-assembler in a separate implementation, as
it is useful for further run-time optimizations. The only change in
behaviour is cutting down printk noise at kernel startup time.
Checkpatch complains about macro parameters which aren't protected by
parentheses. I believe this is a flaw in checkpatch, the paste operator
used in those macros won't work with parenthesised parameters.

It may not be perfect yet but the SB1 code is badly borken and has
horrible performance issues.
Downside: This seriously breaks support for pass 1 parts of the BCM1250
where indexed cacheops don't work quite reliable but I seem to be the
last one on the planet with a pass 1 part anyway.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
