Add the main header for the Thread Binary Interface (TBI) library which
provides useful low level operations and trap/context management.

Add boot code for metag. Due to the multi-threaded nature of Meta it is
not uncommon for an RTOS or bare metal application to be started on
other hardware threads by the bootloader. Since there is a single MMU
switch which affects all threads, the MMU is traditionally configured by
the bootloader prior to starting Linux. The bootloader passes a
structure to Linux which among other things contains information about
memory regions which have been mapped. Linux then assumes control of the
local heap memory region.
A kernel arguments string pointer or a flattened device tree pointer can
be provided in the third argument.

Add the header <asm/metag_mem.h> describing addresses, fields, and bits
of various core memory mapped registers in the low non-MMU region.

Add a couple of header files containing core architecture constants.
The first (<asm/metag_isa.h>) contains some constants relating to the
instruction set, such as values to give to the CACHEW and CACHER
instructions.
The second (<asm/metag_regs.h>) contains constants for the core register
units directly accessible to various instructions, and for the
registers, fields, and bits in those units. The main units described are
the control unit (CT.*), the trigger unit (TR.*), and the run-time trace
unit (TT.*).
