Add support for detecting a vmlinux.bin appended dtb and overriding
the boot arguments to match the UHI interface.
Due to the PERCPU section being empty for !SMP, but still modifying
the current address by aligning it to the page size, do not define
it for !SMP builds to allow __appended_dtb to still point to
the actual end of the data.

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

commit 3747069b25e419f6b51395f48127e9812abc3596 upstream.
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
Here, we remove all the MIPS __cpuinit from C code and __CPUINIT
from asm files. MIPS is interesting in this respect, because there
are also uasm users hiding behind their own renamed versions of the
__cpuinit macros.

So far we're jumping through hoops to keep the file usable from assembler
source but it's getting just too painful. Turns out that many uses of
<asm/page.h> are unnecessary anyway, so just remove those.

The resume() implementation octeon_switch.S examines the saved cp0_status
register. We were clobbering the entire pt_regs structure in kernel
threads leading to random crashes.
When switching away from a kernel thread, the saved cp0_status is examined
and if bit 30 is set it is cleared and the CP2 state saved into the pt_regs
structure. Since the kernel thread stack overlaid the pt_regs structure
this resulted in a corrupt stack. When the kthread with the corrupt stack
was resumed, it could crash if it used any of the data in the stack that was
clobbered.
We fix it by moving the kernel thread stack down so it doesn't overlay
pt_regs.

Commit 312b1485fb made __INIT_REFOK expand
into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax". Since the assembler doesn't
tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds.
Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK the best fix is to
get replace it by the modern days operator. With MIPS the only user
of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which was equally broken) being
unused anyway these can be deleted but that's subject of a separate
commit.

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!
