IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority
(if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use
libata for ATA support exclusively. However there are still
some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that
have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA
drivers. This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term
for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left
in use:
* testing efforts are divided between two subsystems
* having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users
This patch converts malta_kvm_guest_defconfig to use libata
PATA drivers (tc86c001 IDE host driver has no corresponding
libata driver yet so it is not converted).

This patch converts lemote2f_defconfig to use libata PATA

PS This platform uses CS5536 chipset which (due to historical
reasons) has basic support in AMD/nVidia PATA host driver and
full support in a newer CS5536 PATA one (pata_cs5536). Thus
most likely this platform should switch to using the latter
host driver.

PS This platform still uses "ide0=base[,ctl[,irq]]" hack in

this platform should be converted to using PATA platform host
driver (pata_platform) instead.

Commit a68d09a156 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on
64-bit CPUs") prevented use of RIXI on MIPS64 systems, stating that the
"TLB handlers cannot handle this case". What they actually couldn't
handle was cases where there were less fill bits in the Entry{Lo,Hi}
registers than bits used by software in PTEs. The handlers can now deal
with this case, so enable RIXI for MIPS32 kernels on MIPS64 systems.
Note that beyond the obvious benefits provided by having RIXI on such
systems, this is required for systems implementing MIPSr6 where RIXI
cannot be disabled.
This reverts commit a68d09a156 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit
kernels on 64-bit CPUs").

Prior to release 6 of the MIPS architecture it has been implementation
dependent whether masked interrupts cause a wait instruction to return,
so the kernel has effectively had to maintain a whitelist of cores upon
which it is safe to use the r4k_wait_irqoff cpu_wait implementation.
With MIPSr6 this is no longer implementation dependent and
r4k_wait_irqoff can always be used.
Remove the existing I6400 case which will no longer ever be hit, and was
incorrect anyway since I6400 & r6 in general doesn't have the WII bit.

Introduce mips_cm_lock_other & mips_cm_unlock_other, mirroring the
existing CPC equivalents, in order to lock access from the current core
to another via the core-other GCR region. This hasn't been required in
the past but with CM3 the CPC starts using GCR_CL_OTHER rather than
CPC_CL_OTHER and this will be required for safety.

Provide support for outputting early debug information, in the form of
various register values should an exception occur, during the early
bringup of secondary cores. This code requires an ns16550-compatible
UART accessible from the secondary core, and is written in assembly due
to the environment in which such early exceptions occur where way may
not have a stack, be coherent or even have initialised caches.

A boundary exists beyond which the timer frequency becomes high enough
that timer interrupts saturate the system and either cause it to slow to
a crawl or stop functioning entirely. Where that boundary lies depends
upon a number of factors such as the overhead of each interrupt and the
overall speed of the CPU, but correlates strongly with the clock
frequency at which the CPU runs. When running on emulators during
bringup or debug of a CPU that clock frequency is very low, which
results in the boundary at which the timer frequency becomes
unsustainable being very low. The current minimum of 48Hz pushes against
boundary in certain situations in current systems. Allow the kernel to
be configured for a 24Hz timer frequency in order to avoid problems on
such slow running systems.

ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will use __builtin_bswap16(), __builtin_bswap32()
and __builtin_bswap64() where available. This allows better instruction
scheduling. On pre-R2 processors it will result in 32 bit and 64 bit
swapping being performed in a call to a __bswapsi2() rsp. __bswapdi2()
functions, so we add these, too.
For a 4.2 kernel with GCC 4.9 this yields the following kernel sizes:
text data bss dec hex filename
3996071 155804 88992 4240867 40b5e3 vmlinux ip22 baseline
3985687 159900 88992 4234579 409d53 vmlinux ip22 + bswap patch
6913157 378552 251024 7542733 7317cd vmlinux ip27 baseline
6878581 378552 251024 7508157 7290bd vmlinux ip27 + bswap patch

5773401 268752 187424 6229577 5f0e49 vmlinux malta + bswap patch
Presumably the code size improvments yield better cache hit rate thus
better performance compensating for the extra function call but this
will still need to be benchmarked.
