The Feroceon is a family of independent ARMv5TE compliant CPU core
implementations, supporting a variable depth pipeline and out-of-order
execution. The Feroceon is configurable with VFP support, and the
later models in the series are superscalar with up to two instructions
per clock cycle.
This patch adds the initial low-level cache/TLB handling for this core.

By merging of uClinux/ARM, we need to treat various CPU cores which have
MMU, MPU or even none for memory management. The memory management
coprocessors are controlled by CP15 register set and the ARM core family
can be categorized by 5 groups by the register ;
G-a. CP15 is MMU : 610, 710, 720, 920, 922, 925, 926, 1020, 1020e, 1022,
v6 and the derivations sa1100, sa110, xscale, xsc3.
G-b. CP15 is MPU : 740, 940, 946, 996, 1156.
G-c. CP15 is MPU or MMU : 1026 (selectable by schematic design)
G-d. CP15 is exist, but nothing for memory managemnt : 966, 968.
G-e. no-CP15 : 7tdmi, 9tdmi, 9e, 9ej
This patch defines CPU_CP15, CPU_CP15_MMU and CPU_CP15_MPU. Thus the
family can be defined as :
- CPU_CP15 only : G-d
- CPU_CP15_MMU(implies CPU_CP15) : G-a, G-c(selectable)
- CPU_CP15_MPU(implies CPU_CP15) : G-b, G-c(selectable)

This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core. This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:
- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)
I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.
L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.
There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM.
In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS
value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation
nor special system call. This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to
be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty.
The problematic and performance critical operations are performed
through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory. Those fixed entry points are
within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra
memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that
location anyway.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments.
And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to
user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number. This is done for two
reasons:
1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be
retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way
gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the
NPTL work is still progressing).
2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined
