This will allow kdump dumps to work correclty with MIPS and
future DWARF unwinding of the stack to give accurate tracebacks.

When building a kernel targeting a microMIPS ISA, recent GNU linkers
will fail the link if they cannot determine that the target of a branch
or jump is microMIPS code, with errors such as the following:

    mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .text+0x542c:
    Unsupported jump between ISA modes; consider recompiling with
    interlinking enabled.
    mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value

or:

    ./arch/mips/include/asm/uaccess.h:1017: warning: JALX to a
    non-word-aligned address

Placing anything other than an instruction at the start of a function
written in assembly appears to trigger such errors. In order to prepare
for allowing us to follow function prologue macros with an EXPORT_SYMBOL
invocation, end the prologue macros (LEAD, NESTED & FEXPORT) with a
.insn directive. This ensures that the start of the function is marked
as code, which always makes sense for functions & safely prevents us
from hitting the link errors described above.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension

during a kernel build.  Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.

This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

EVA uses specific instructions for accessing user memory.
Instead of polluting the kernel with numerous #ifdef CONFIG_EVA
we add wrappers for all the instructions that need special
handling when EVA is enabled.

EVA can use the PREFE instruction to perform the virtual address
translation using the user mapping of the address rather than the
kernel mapping.

Optimise 'memset' to use microMIPS instructions and/or optimisations
for binary size reduction. When the microMIPS ISA is not being used,
the library function compiles to the original binary code.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

IP28 needs special treatment to avoid speculative accesses. gcc
takes care for .c code, but for assembly code we need to do it
manually.

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!
