RTLX communication is based on lock-free shared memory buffers. It
happened to be working by luck so far but relies on the optimizer doing
certain optimizations but no reordering.
Fixed by inserting proper barriers in rtlx_read and rtlx_write, and careful
pointer dereferencing.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

The irq_base for {mips,rm7k,rm9k}_cpu_irq_init() are constant on all
platforms and are same value on most platforms (0 or 16, depends on
CONFIG_I8259). Define them in asm-mips/mach-generic/irq.h and make
them customizable. This will save a few cycle on each CPU interrupt.
A good side effect is removing some dependencies to MALTA in generic
SMTC code.
Although MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE is customizable, this patch changes irq
mappings on DDB5477, EMMA2RH and MIPS_SIM, since really customizing
them might cause some header dependency problem and there seems no
good reason to customize it. So currently only VR41XX is using custom
MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE value, which is 0 regardless of CONFIG_I8259.
Testing this patch on those platforms is greatly appreciated. Thank
you.
