The bitops functions (e.g. _test_and_set_bit) on ARM do not have unwind
annotations and therefore the kernel cannot backtrace out of them on a
fatal error (for example, NULL pointer dereference).
This patch annotates the bitops assembly macros with UNWIND annotations
so that we can produce a meaningful backtrace on error. Callers of the
macros are modified to pass their function name as a macro parameter,
enforcing that the macros are used as standalone function implementations.

Switch the set/clear/change bitops to use the word-based exclusive
operations, which are only present in a wider range of ARM architectures
than the byte-based exclusive operations.

This declaration specifies the "function" type and size for various
assembly functions, mainly needed for generating the correct branch
instructions in Thumb-2.

Convert ARM bitop assembly to a macro. All bitops follow the same
format, so it's silly duplicating the code when only one or two
instructions are different.

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!
