The following patch defines sigcontext ABI of ColdFire. Due to ISA
restrictions ColdFire needs different rt_sigreturn trampoline.
And due to ColdFire FP registers being 8-bytes instead of 12-bytes on
m68k, sigcontext and fpregset structures should be updated.
Regarding the sc_fpstate[16+6*8] field, it would've been enough 16
bytes to store ColdFire's FP state. To accomodate GLIBC's libSegFault
it would'be been enough 6*8 bytes (room for the 6 non-call-clobbered
FP registers). I set it to 16+6*8 to provide some extra space for any
future changes in the ColdFire FPU.

MIPS: Cobalt: convert legacy port addresses to GT-64111 bus addresses
The GT-64111 PCI host bridge has no address translation mechanism, so
it can't generate legacy port accesses. This quirk fixes legacy device
port resources to contain the bus addresses actually generated by the
GT-64111.
I think this is the approach Ben Herrenschmidt suggested long ago:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119733290624544&w=2
This allows us to remove the IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED hack from
pcibios_fixup_device_resources(), which converts bus addresses to CPU
addresses. IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED denotes resources that can't be moved;
it has nothing to do with converting bus to CPU addresses.

MIPS: Alchemy: use 36bit addresses for PCMCIA resources.
On Alchemy the PCMCIA area lies at the end of the chips 36bit system bus
area. Currently, addresses at the far end of the 32bit area are assumed
to belong to the PCMCIA area and fixed up to the real 36bit address before
being passed to ioremap().
A previous commit enabled 64 bit physical size for the resource datatype on
Alchemy and this allows to use the correct 36bit addresses when registering
the PCMCIA sockets.
This patch removes the 32-to-36bit address fixup and registers the Alchemy
demo board pcmcia socket with the correct 36bit physical addresses.

MIPS: Cobalt: Fix theoretical port aliasing issue
Because the VIA SuperIO chip only decodes 24 bits of address space but port
address space currently being configured as 32MB there is the theoretical
possibility of aliases within the I/O port address range.
The complicated solution is to reserve all address range that potencially
could cause such aliases. But with the PCI spec limiting port allocations
for devices to a maximum of 256 bytes 16MB of port address space already is
way more than one would ever expect to be used so we just reduce the port
space to 16MB.

The branching forward to .subsection 2 on sc failure slows down the

Since we are now working on naturally aligned u16 values, we can get

Normally we do a cleanup for each transmitted packet. We add a
watchdog type timer so that we also schedule a timeout for 150uS after
a packet is transmitted. The watchdog is reset for each transmitted
packet, so for high packet rates, it never expires. At these high
rates, the cleanups are done for each packet so the extra watchdog

MIPS: Implement Read Inhibit/eXecute Inhibit
The SmartMIPS ASE specifies how Read Inhibit (RI) and eXecute Inhibit
(XI) bits in the page tables work. The upper two bits of EntryLo{0,1}
are RI and XI when the feature is enabled in the PageGrain register.
SmartMIPS only covers 32-bit systems. Cavium Octeon+ extends this to
64-bit systems by continuing to place the RI and XI bits in the top of
EntryLo even when EntryLo is 64-bits wide.
Because we need to carry the RI and XI bits in the PTE, the layout of
the PTE is changed. There is a two instruction overhead in the TLB
refill hot path to get the EntryLo bits into the proper position.
Also the TLB load exception has to probe the TLB to check if RI or XI
caused the exception.
Also of note is that the layout of the PTE bits is done at compile and
runtime rather than statically. In the 32-bit case this allows for
the same number of PFN bits as before the patch as the _PAGE_HUGE is
not supported in 32-bit kernels (we have _PAGE_NO_EXEC and
_PAGE_NO_READ instead of _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_HUGE).
The patch is tested on Cavium Octeon+, but should also work on 32-bit
systems with the Smart-MIPS ASE.

MIPS: Use 64-bit stores to c0_entrylo on 64-bit kernels.
64-bit CPUs have 64-bit c0_entrylo{0,1} registers. We should use the
64-bit dmtc0 instruction to set them. This becomes important if we
want to set the RI and XI bits present in some processors.

MIPS: Make the debugging of compressed kernel configurable
This patch adds a new DEBUG_ZBOOT option to allow the users to enable it
to debug the compressed kernel support for a new board and this optoin
should be disabled to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the
kernel booting procedure when the compressed kernel support is stable.
