Add cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 support for ARMv6K and ARMv7 systems
(original patch from Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>)
The cmpxchg and cmpxchg64 functions can be implemented using the
LDREX*/STREX* instructions. Since operand lengths other than 32bit are
required, the full implementations are only available if the ARMv6K
extensions are present (for the LDREXB, LDREXH and LDREXD instructions).
For ARMv6, only 32-bits cmpxchg is available.
Mathieu :
Make cmpxchg_local always available with best implementation for all type sizes (1, 2, 4 bytes).
Make cmpxchg64_local always available.
Use "Ir" constraint for "old" operand, like atomic.h atomic_cmpxchg does.
Change since v3 :
- Add "memory" clobbers (thanks to Nicolas Pitre)
- removed __asmeq(), only needed for old compilers, very unlikely on ARMv6+.
Note : ARMv7-M should eventually be ifdefed-out of cmpxchg64. But it's not
supported by the Linux kernel currently.
Put back arm < v6 cmpxchg support.

Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:
- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.
- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.
So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.

Adds support for Faraday FA526 core. This core is used at least by:
Cortina Systems Gemini and Centroid family
Cavium Networks ECONA family
Grain Media GM8120
Pixelplus ImageARM
Prolific PL-1029
Faraday IP evaluation boards
v2:
- move TLB_BTB to separate patch
- update copyrights

OMAP wishes to pass state to the boot loader upon reboot in order to
instruct it whether to wait for USB-based reflashing or not. There is
already a facility to do this via the reboot() syscall, except we ignore
the string passed to machine_restart().
This patch fixes things to pass this string to arch_reset(). This means
that we keep the reboot mode limited to telling the kernel _how_ to
perform the reboot which should be independent of what we request the
boot loader to do.

As a result of the ptebits changes, we ended up marking device mappings
as normal memory on ARMv7 CPUs, resulting in undesirable behaviour with
serial ports and the like. While reviewing the section mapping table
entries, other errors in the memory type settings for devices were
detected and confirmed to prevent Xscale3 platforms booting.
Tested on:
OMAP34xx (ARMv7),
OMAP24xx (ARMv6),
OMAP16xx (ARM926T, ARMv5),
PXA311 (Xscale3),
PXA272 (Xscale),
PXA255 (Xscale),
IXP42x (Xscale),
S3C2410 (ARM920T, ARMv4T),
ARM720T (ARMv4T)
StrongARM-110 (ARMv4)

Add asm/cputype.h, moving functions and definitions from asm/system.h
there. Convert all users of 'processor_id' to the more efficient
read_cpuid_id() function.

Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
