The notable features are:
- SMP configurations of upto 4 cores with coherency
- Optional L2 Cache and IO-Coherency
- Revised Interrupt Architecture (multiple priorites, reg banks,
auto stack switch, auto regfile save/restore)
- MMUv4 (PIPT dcache, Huge Pages)
- Instructions for
* 64bit load/store: LDD, STD
* Hardware assisted divide/remainder: DIV, REM
* Function prologue/epilogue: ENTER_S, LEAVE_S
* IRQ enable/disable: CLRI, SETI
* pop count: FFS, FLS
* SETcc, BMSKN, XBFU...

Lockdep required a small fix to stacktrace API which was incorrectly
unwindign out of __switch_to for the current call frame.

In the exception return path, for both U/K cases, intr are already
disabled (for various existing reasons). So when we drop down to
@restore_regs, we need not redo that.
There was subtle issue - when intr were NOT being disabled for
ret-to-kernel-but-no-preemption case - now fixed by moving the
IRQ_DISABLE further up in @resume_kernel_mode.
So what do we gain:
* Shaves off a few insn in return path.
* Eliminates the need for IRQ_DISABLE_SAVE assembler macro for ARCv2
hence allows for entry code sharing.

* Move the various sub-system defines/types into relevant files/functions
(reduces compilation time)
* move CPU specific stuff out of asm/tlb.h into asm/mmu.h

ARC irqsave/restore macros were missing the compiler barrier, causing a
stale load in irq-enabled region be used in irq-safe region, despite
being changed, because the register holding the value was still live.
The problem manifested as random crashes in timer code when stress
testing ARCLinux (3.9-rc3) on a !SMP && !PREEMPT_COUNT
Here's the exact sequence which caused this:
(0). tv1[x] <----> t1 <---> t2
(1). mod_timer(t1) interrupted after it calls timer_pending()
(2). mod_timer(t2) completes
(3). mod_timer(t1) resumes but messes up the list
(4). __runt_timers( ) uses bogus timer_list entry / crashes in
timer->function
Essentially mod_timer() was racing against itself and while the spinlock
serialized the tv1[] timer link list, timer_pending() called outside the
spinlock, cached timer link list element in a register.
With low register pressure (and a deep register file), lack of barrier
in raw_local_irqsave() as well as preempt_disable (!PREEMPT_COUNT
version), there was nothing to force gcc to reload across the spinlock,
causing a stale value in reg be used for link list manipulation - ensuing
a corruption.
ARcompact disassembly which shows the culprit generated code:
mod_timer:
push_s blink
mov_s r13,r0 # timer, timer
..
###### timer_pending( )
ld_s r3,[r13] # <------ <variable>.entry.next LOADED
brne r3, 0, @.L163
.L163:
..
###### spin_lock_irq( )
lr r5, [status32] # flags
bic r4, r5, 6 # temp, flags,
and.f 0, r5, 6 # flags,
flag.nz r4
###### detach_if_pending( ) begins
tst_s r3,r3 <--------------
# timer_pending( ) checks timer->entry.next
# r3 is NOT reloaded by gcc, using stale value
beq.d @.L169
mov.eq r0,0
##### detach_timer( ): __list_del( )
ld r4,[r13,4] # <variable>.entry.prev, D.31439
st r4,[r3,4] # <variable>.prev, D.31439
st r3,[r4] # <variable>.next, D.30246
We initially tried to fix this by adding barrier() to preempt_* macros
for !PREEMPT_COUNT but Linus clarified that it was anything but wrong.

There is a bit of hack/kludge right now where we disable preemption if a
L2 (High prio) IRQ is taken while L1 (Low prio) is active.
Need to revisit this

ARC700 has an in-core intc which provides 2 priorities (a.k.a.) "levels"
of interrupts (per IRQ) hencforth referred to as L1/L2 interrupts.
CPU flags register STATUS32 has Interrupt Enable bits per level (E1/E2)
to globally enable (or disable) all IRQs at a level. Hence the
implementation of arch_local_irq_{save,restore,enable,disable}( )
The STATUS32 reg can be r/w only using the AUX Interface of ARC, hence
the use of LR/SR instructions. Further, E1/E2 bits in there can only be
updated using the FLAG insn.
The intc supports 32 interrupts - and per IRQ enabling is controlled by
a bit in the AUX_IENABLE register, hence the implmentation of
arch_{,un}mask_irq( ) routines.
