Catalin Marinas	faa7bc51c1	Check whether the TLB operations need broadcasting on SMP systems ARMv7 SMP hardware can handle the TLB maintenance operations broadcasting in hardware so that the software can avoid the costly IPIs. This patch adds the necessary checks (the MMFR3 CPUID register) to avoid the broadcasting if already supported by the hardware.

Check whether the TLB operations need broadcasting on SMP systems

ARMv7 SMP hardware can handle the TLB maintenance operations
broadcasting in hardware so that the software can avoid the costly IPIs.
This patch adds the necessary checks (the MMFR3 CPUID register) to avoid
the broadcasting if already supported by the hardware.

[ARM] cputype: separate definitions, use them

Add asm/cputype.h, moving functions and definitions from asm/system.h
there.  Convert all users of 'processor_id' to the more efficient
read_cpuid_id() function.
