XIP (eXecute In Place) kernel image is the image that can be run
directly from ROM, using RAM only for writable data.
XIP xtensa kernel differs from regular xtensa kernel in the following
ways:
- it has exception/IRQ vectors merged into text section. No vectors
relocation takes place at kernel startup.
- .data/.bss location must be specified in the kernel configuration,
its content is copied there in the _startup function.
- .init.text is merged with the rest of text and is executed from ROM.
- when MMU is used the virtual address where the kernel will be mapped
must be specified in the kernel configuration. It may be in the KSEG
or in the KIO, __pa macro is adjusted to be able to handle both.

This section collects all source .note.* sections together in the
vmlinux image. Without it .note.Linux section may be placed at address
0, while the rest of the kernel is at its normal address, resulting in a
huge vmlinux.bin image that may not be linked into the xtensa Image.elf.

The host-progs has been kept as an alias of hostprogs-y for a long time
(at least since the beginning of Git era), with the clear prompt:
Usage of host-progs is deprecated. Please replace with hostprogs-y!
Enough time for the migration has passed.

Currently xtensa uses 'zImage' as a synonym of 'all', but in fact xtensa
supports three targets: 'Image' (ELF image with reset vector), 'zImage'
(compressed redboot image) and 'uImage' (U-Boot image).
Provide separate 'Image', 'zImage' and 'uImage' make targets that only
build corresponding image type. Make 'all' build all images appropriate
for a platform.

-e is not needed to output strings without escape sequences. This breaks
big endian FSF build when the shell is dash, because its builtin echo
doesn't understand '-e' switch and outputs it in the echoed string.

The current rules have the .dtb files build in a different directory
from the .dts files. This patch changes xtensa to use the generic dtb
rule which builds .dtb files in the same directory as the source .dts.
This requires moving parts of arch/xtensa/boot/Makefile into newly
created arch/xtensa/boot/dts/Makefile, and updating arch/xtensa/Makefile
to call the new Makefile.

Device trees allow specification of hardware topology and device
parameters at runtime instead of hard-coding them in platform setup
code. This allows running single binary kernel on a range of compatible
boards.
New boot parameters tag BP_TAG_FDT is allocated and a pointer to flat
device tree is passed in it.
Note that current interrupt mapping scheme uses single cell for
interrupt identification. That means that IRQ numbers used in DTS must
be CPU internal IRQ numbers, not external. It is possible to extend
interrupt identification to two cells, and use second cell to tell
external IRQ numbers form internal. That would allow to use single DTS
on multiple boards with different mapping of external IRQ numbers.

Commit 9a39e273d4 removed the boot directory
addition to CFLAGS that was being used by the subdirectory builds. For the
other files, that patch set EXTRA_CFLAGS, but Makefile.build explicitly
sets that to empty as it is explicitly for a single directory only.
Append to KBUILD_CFLAGS instead.

Only in very rare cases is it needed to change CFLAGS
outside of arch/*/Makefile.
Fix up all wrong cases - in most cases
the use of EXTRA_CFLAGS is the only thing needed.
