Now when we have properly working performance counters in nSIM
even with interrupt support (fix should be a part of upcoming
nSIM engineering build 2016.12-005) we may enable perf support
by default for all platforms that use nSIM for ARC cores simulation.
Note 1: PCT node was missing for some reason in nsimosci.dts
while all other nSIM-related .dts files already had
PCT node for quite some time, so adding it now.
Note 2: All defconfigs were regenerated with "make savedefconfig"
which led to some clean-ups in nsimosci_hs_smp_defconfig:
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y was removed because it is
automatically selected now by DRM.

With required ARC PGU updates that allow it to be used on simulation
platforms we may finally utilize ARC PGU in nSIM OSCI virtual platforms
with modern Linux kernels.

Since ezchip network driver was adapted to little endian architecture
this patch provides the corresponding arch/arc/{boot/dts,configs}/ updates so
we can switch over to this device-model/driver for OSCI platform.

The problem is with CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN=y we still needed .config
fixup to override the the defconfig prefix to arceb-linux-
So remove these from defconfig and let user pass this via CROSS_COMPILE
environment var or use the default for ENDIAN (per previous patch)
No other arch carries them in defconfigs anyways !

Even though DEVTMPFS is required when our pre-built initramfs
is used it is not the case in general. It is perfectly possible
to use initramfs with device nodes already populated or there
could be other usages, see discussion below for more detials:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.openwrt.devel/37819/focus=37821
This change removes mentioned dependency from arch/arc/Kconfig
updating instead those defconfigs that are usually used with this
kind of pre-build initramfs.
And while at it all touched defconfigs were regenerated via
savedefconfig and some options were removed:
* USB is selected by other options implicitly
* VGA_CONSOLE is disableb for ARC since
031e29b587
* EXT3_FS automatically selects EXT4_FS
* MTDxxx and JFFS2_FS make no sense for AXS because
AXS NAND controller is not upstreamed
* NET_OSCI_LAN is not in upstream as well
* ARCPGU_xxx options make no sense because ARC PGU is not yet
in upstream and when it gets there all config options would
be taken from devicetree

* Remove remanants of legacy ARC FPGA platforms (AA4, ML509...)
* Only nsim simulation platform is left, rename platform accordingly
* AA4 DT stuff is compatible with nsim for ARC700 so rename it too

ARC GNU tools have had support for arc-linux-* driver for some time now.
This is functionally similar to arc-linux-uclibc-* but uclibc prefix
seemed weird at best when trying to compile the kernel itself.

Commit c00bfd974f ("ARC: [arcfpga] Get rid of legacy BVCI latency unit
support") removed the Kconfig symbol ARC_HAS_BVCI_LAT_UNIT. And that
symbol's entry was the only place were the symbols ARC_BOARD_ANGEL4 and
ARC_BOARD_ML509 were used. So ARC_BOARD_ANGEL4 and ARC_BOARD_ML509 can
be removed too.

Despite the switch to right UART driver (prev patch), serial console
still doesn't work due to missing CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM
Also fix the default cmdline in DT to not refer to out-of-tree
ARC framebuffer driver for console.

* DWARF unwinder related
+ Force DWARF2 compliant .debug_frame (gcc 4.8 defaults to DWARF4
which kernel unwinder can't grok).
+ Discard the additional .eh_frame generated
+ Discard the dwarf4 debug info generated by -gdwarf-2 for normal
no debug case
* 4.8 already uses arc600 multilibs for -mno-mpy
* switch to using uclibc compiler (to get -mmedium-calls and -mno-sdata)
and also since buildroot can only use 1 toolchain

This adds support for an ARC Virtual Platform. This platform is based on the
System C standard promoted by the OSCI (Open System C Initiative) and uses
nSIM to simulate the ARC CPU core itself.
Users can build a virtual SoC by combining System C models of peripherals
and CPU cores.
