This patch adds support for offlining CPUs via hotplug when using the
CONFIG_MIPS_CPS SMP implementation. When a CPU is offlined one of 2
things will happen:
- If the CPU is part of a core which implements the MT ASE and there
is at least one other VPE online within that core then the VPE will
be halted by settings its TCHalt bit.
- Otherwise if supported the core will be powered down via the CPC.
- Otherwise the CPU will hang by executing an infinite loop.
Bringing CPUs back online is then a process of either clearing the
appropriate VPEs TCHalt bit or powering up the appropriate core via the
CPC. Throughout the process the struct core_boot_config vpe_mask field
must be maintained such that mips_cps_boot_vpes will start & stop the
correct VPEs.

The core which the CPC core-other region relates to is based upon the
core-local core-other addressing register. As its name suggests this
register is shared between all VPEs within a core, and if there is a
possibility that multiple VPEs within a core will attempt to access
another core simultaneously then locking is required. This wasn't
previously a problem with the only user being cpu0 during boot, but will
be an issue once hotplug is implemented & may race with other users such
as cpuidle.

The start of mips_cps_core_entry is patched in order to provide the code
with the address of the CM register region at a point where it will be
running non-coherent with the rest of the system. However the cache
wasn't being flushed after that patching which could in principle lead
to secondary cores using an invalid CM base address.
The patching is moved to cps_prepare_cpus since local_flush_icache_range
has not been initialised at the point cps_smp_setup is called.

The core power down state for cpuidle will require that the CPS SMP
implementation is in use. This patch provides a mips_cps_smp_in_use
function which determines whether or not the CPS SMP implementation is
currently in use.

When hotplug and/or a powered down idle state are supported cases will
arise where a non-zero VPE must be brought online without VPE 0, and it
where multiple VPEs must be onlined simultaneously. This patch prepares
for that by:
- Splitting struct boot_config into core & VPE boot config structures,
allocated one per core or VPE respectively. This allows for multiple
VPEs to be onlined simultaneously without clobbering each others
configuration.
- Indicating which VPEs should be online within a core at any given
time using a bitmap. This allows multiple VPEs to be brought online
simultaneously and also indicates to VPE 0 whether it should halt
after starting any non-zero VPEs that should be online within the
core. For example if all VPEs within a core are offlined via hotplug
and the user onlines the second VPE within that core:
1) The core will be powered up.
2) VPE 0 will run from the BEV (ie. mips_cps_core_entry) to
initialise the core.
3) VPE 0 will start VPE 1 because its bit is set in the cores
bitmap.
4) VPE 0 will halt itself because its bit is clear in the cores
bitmap.
- Moving the core & VPE initialisation to assembly code which does not
make any use of the stack. This is because if a non-zero VPE is to
be brought online in a powered down core then when VPE 0 of that
core runs it may not have a valid stack, and even if it did then
it's messy to run through parts of generic kernel code on VPE 0
before starting the correct VPE.
