Instead of evaluating the cpu features for ELF_HWCAP every exec,
calculate it once at boot time.
Add AV_SPARC_* capability flag bits, compatible with what Solaris
reports to applications.
Report these capabilities once in the kernel log, and also via
/proc/cpuinfo in a new "cpucaps" entry.
If available, fetch the cpu features from the machine description
'hwcap-list' property of the 'cpu' node.

The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3".
As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same
as Niagara-T2/T2+. Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use
perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores
for copies.
We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in
this regard. Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can
report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode.
For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags. We probably need
to add a couple, for example:
T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware.
T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for
partitioned shift. One can also now move directly between float
and integer registers.
T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC
calculations, such as XOR multiply. Also there are "OP and negate"
instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate.
T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since
transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and
2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps'
behaves as a NOP.
So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent
all of these things.

All these are instances of
#define NAME value;
or
#define NAME(params_opt) value;
These of course fail to build when used in contexts like
if(foo $OP NAME)
while(bar $OP NAME)
and may silently generate the wrong code in contexts such as
foo = NAME + 1; /* foo = value; + 1; */
bar = NAME - 1; /* bar = value; - 1; */
baz = NAME & quux; /* baz = value; & quux; */

Initial analysis of the dangers provided by Keith Thompson in that thread.
There are many more instances of more complicated macros having unnecessary
trailing semicolons, but this pile seems to be all of the cases of simple
values suffering from the problem. (Thus things that are likely to be found
in one of the contexts above, more complicated ones aren't.)

Here are the sparc bits to remove TIF_ABI_PENDING now that
set_personality() is called at the appropriate place in exec.

Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define
USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP. The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so
let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.

The SET_PERSONALITY macro is always called with a second argument of 0.
Remove the ibcs argument and the various tests to set the PER_SVR4

The majority of this patch was created by the following script:
***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***
The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
