When trying to compile the 3.1-rc10 kernel for my MIPS board with C=1
(sparse checking), the build fails early with the error:

It seems the shell chokes because sparse is called with command line
arguments such as:
-D__INT8_C(c)='c'
Converting these to form:
-D'__INT8_C(c)'='c'
seems to fix the problem.

The CN63XXP1 needs a couple of workarounds to ensure memory is not written
in unexpected ways.
All PREF with hints in the range 0-4,6-24 are replaced with PREF 28. We
pass a flag to the assembler to cover compiler generated code, and patch
uasm for the dynamically generated code.
The write buffer threshold is reduced to 4.

It was a nice optimization - on paper at least. In practice it results in
branches that may exceed the maximum legal range for a branch. We can
fight that problem with -ffunction-sections but -ffunction-sections again
is incompatible with -pg used by the function tracer.
By rewriting the loop around all simple LL/SC blocks to C we reduce the
amount of inline assembler and at the same time allow GCC to often fill
the branch delay slots with something sensible or whatever else clever
optimization it may have up in its sleeve.
With this optimization gone we also no longer need -ffunction-sections,
so drop it.
This optimization was originally introduced in 2.6.21, commit
5999eca25c1fd4b9b9aca7833b04d10fe4bc877d (linux-mips.org) rsp.
f65e4fa8e0 (kernel.org).
Original fix for the issues which caused me to pull this optimization by
Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>.

- use hostprogs-y for the elf2ecoff
- list all *.o file in targets
- renamed obj-y to vmlinuzobjs-y (it was confusing to re-use a kbuild variable)
- fix all uses of if_changed/cmd
- use kbuild rules to beautify output
- update clean-file to clean vmlinuz.* in top-level directory
- simplied logic in arch/mips/Makefile for compressed targets
The net result is a more kbuild conformant Makefile but
readability did not increase.

It was sharing the nxp directory but no code with pnx833x and will fit
better into the new platform makefile scheme, if moved. Also after the

Move platform specific definitions to the platfrom directories.
Each platform shall do the following:
1) include an entry in arch/mips/Kbuild.platforms
2) add relevant definitions to arch/mips/<platform>/Platform
This commits changes ar7 to the new scheme as an example.
Introducing a platform speecific Platfrom file has following advantages:
1) decentralization of platfrom definitions
2) simplification af arch/mips/Makefile
3) force all platfrom to build with -Werror (done in arch/mips/Kbuild)

It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD
on the command line - which is only used when building modules.
{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
additional options to AS, CC, LD when building modules
without overriding the original value.
Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE
that is used by arch specific files and free up
{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on
the command line.
All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.
Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by
two assignmnets.
Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
from this.

With the "Fixups of Loongson2F" patch [1] having been applied to binutils
for binutils 2.20.1 we now can use it's time to enable the options provided
by the patch to compile the kernel.
Without these fixups, the system may hang if the erratum is triggered.
