Linux kernel 2.6.32 and later allocate address space from the top of the
kernel virtual memory address space.
This patch implements virtual memory size detection for 64 bit MIPS CPUs
to avoid resulting crashes.

On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the
kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set
cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in
asm/futex.h).
We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that
lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex
code to use it.
Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc
unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.

Some CPUs have implementation dependent rdhwr registers. Allow them
to be enabled on a per CPU basis.

Some CPUs do not need ehb instructions after writing CP0 registers.
By allowing ehb generation to be overridden in
cpu-feature-overrides.h, we can save a few instructions in the TLB
handler hot paths.

This is useful for IDT RC32332, RC32334 and NEC VR5500 processors which do
not implement the full MIPS32 / MIPS64 architecture.

Follow precedent of other boards, and hook-up the CPU specific cache
