When hotplug and/or a powered down idle state are supported cases will arise where a non-zero VPE must be brought online without VPE 0, and it where multiple VPEs must be onlined simultaneously. This patch prepares for that by: - Splitting struct boot_config into core & VPE boot config structures, allocated one per core or VPE respectively. This allows for multiple VPEs to be onlined simultaneously without clobbering each others configuration. - Indicating which VPEs should be online within a core at any given time using a bitmap. This allows multiple VPEs to be brought online simultaneously and also indicates to VPE 0 whether it should halt after starting any non-zero VPEs that should be online within the core. For example if all VPEs within a core are offlined via hotplug and the user onlines the second VPE within that core: 1) The core will be powered up. 2) VPE 0 will run from the BEV (ie. mips_cps_core_entry) to initialise the core. 3) VPE 0 will start VPE 1 because its bit is set in the cores bitmap. 4) VPE 0 will halt itself because its bit is clear in the cores bitmap. - Moving the core & VPE initialisation to assembly code which does not make any use of the stack. This is because if a non-zero VPE is to be brought online in a powered down core then when VPE 0 of that core runs it may not have a valid stack, and even if it did then it's messy to run through parts of generic kernel code on VPE 0 before starting the correct VPE.

This patch provides functions to lock & unlock access to the "core-other" register region of the CPC. Without performing appropriate locking it is possible for code using this region to be preempted or to race with code on another VPE within the same core, with one changing the core which the "core-other" region is acting upon at an inopportune time for the other.

This patch introduces code to probe for a MIPS Cluster Power Controller & accessor functions to allow for easy register access. This support code will be used by a subsequent patch.
