The kernel contains a small amount of incomplete code aimed at
supporting old R6000 CPUs. This is:
- Unused, as no machine selects CONFIG_SYS_HAS_CPU_R6000.
- Broken, since there are glaring errors such as r6000_fpu.S moving
the FCSR register to t1, then ignoring it & instead saving t0 into
struct sigcontext...
- A maintenance headache, since it's code that nobody can test which
nevertheless imposes constraints on code which it shares with other
machines.
Remove this incomplete & broken R6000 CPU support in order to clean up
and in preparation for changes which will no longer need to consider
dragging the pretense of R6000 support along with them.

Fix a regression introduced with commit 2db9ca0a3551 ("MIPS: Use struct
mips_abi offsets to save FP context") for MIPS I/I FP signal contexts,
by converting save/restore code to the updated internal API. Start FGR
offsets from 0 rather than SC_FPREGS from $a0 and use $a1 rather than
the offset of SC_FPC_CSR from $a0 for the Floating Point Control/Status
Register (FCSR).
Document the new internal API and adjust assembly code formatting for
consistency.

Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:
{standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
LD arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float
To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS; but then we also need
to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.

Removed obsolete stuff from arch makefile.
mips had a special rule for generating asm-offsets.h so preserved it
using an architecture specific hook in top-level Kbuild file.
Renamed .h file to asm-offsets.h

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!
