ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions.
ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are
are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This
includes:
-Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI)
-Cache coherency
-load-locked/store-conditional
...
The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP
because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit
of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler
prologues to keep them re-entrant.
Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to
SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help
with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012).
Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so
multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is
addressed in subsequent patches within this series.

There is a bit of hack/kludge right now where we disable preemption if a
L2 (High prio) IRQ is taken while L1 (Low prio) is active.
Need to revisit this

To avoid multiple syscall restarts (multiple signals) or no restart at
all (sigreturn), we need just an extra bit of state "literally 1 bit" in
struct pt_regs. orig_r8 is the best place to do this, however given the
way it is encoded currently, we can't add anything simplistically.
Current orig_r8:
* syscalls -> 1 to NR_SYSCALLS
* Exceptions -> NR_SYSCALLS + 1
* Break-point-> NR_SYSCALLS + 2
In new scheme it is a bit-field
* lower short word contains the exact event type (and a new bit to represent
restart semantics : if syscall was already / can't be restarted)
* upper short word optionally containing the syscall num - needed by
likes of tracehooks etc
This patch only changes how orig_r8 is organised and nothing should
change behaviourily.

Includes following fixes courtesy review by Al-Viro
* Tracer poke to Callee-regs were lost
Before going off into do_signal( ) we save the user-mode callee regs
(as they are not saved by default as part of pt_regs). This is to make
sure that that a Tracer (if tracing related signal) is able to do likes
of PEEKUSR(callee-reg).
However in return path we were simply discarding the user-mode callee
regs, which would break a POKEUSR(callee-reg) from a tracer.
* Issue related to multiple syscall restarts are addressed in next patch
