Newer hypervisors have an API for reporting per-cpu statistics
information. This change allows seeing that information via
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/hv_stats file for each core.

First, fix a bug in asm/unaligned.h; we need to just use the asm-generic
unaligned.h so we properly choose endian-correct flavors.
Second, keep the hv/hypervisor.h ABI fully "native" in the sense that
we don't have __BIG_ENDIAN__ ifdefs there. Instead, we use macros in
the head_NN.S assembly code to properly extract two 32-bit structure
members from a 64-bit register holding the structure.

This change improves and cleans up the tile console.
- We enable HVC_IRQ support on tilegx, with the addition of a new
Tilera hypervisor API for tilegx to allow a console IPI. If IPI
support is not available we fall back to the previous polling mode.
- We simplify the earlyprintk code to use CON_BOOT and eliminate some
of the other supporting earlyprintk code.
- A new tile_console_write() primitive is used to send output to
the console and is factored out of the hvc_tile driver.
This lets us support a "sim_console" boot argument to allow using
simulator hooks to send output to the "console" as a slightly
faster alternative to emulating the hardware more directly.

The Tilera hypervisor shipped in releases up through MDE 4.1 launches
the client operating system (i.e. Linux) at privilege level 1 (PL1).
Starting with MDE 4.2, as part of the work to enable KVM, the
Tilera hypervisor launches Linux at PL2 instead.
This commit makes the KERNEL_PL option default to 2 for tilegx, while
still saying at 1 for tilepro, which doesn't have an updated hypervisor.
It also explains how and when you might want to choose another value.
In addition, we change a small buglet in the on-chip Ethernet driver,
where we were failing to use the KERNEL_PL constant in an API call.
To make the transition cleaner, this change also provides the updated
hv_init() API for the new hypervisor that supports announcing Linux's
compiled-in PL, so the hypervisor can generate a suitable error in the
case of a mismatched hypervisor and Linux binary.

This just adds a few more attributes to the information Linux
can query from the hypervisor for the /sys/hypervisor/board/ directory,
providing part, serial#, revision#, and description for cpu modules
(as opposed to the board itself, or any mezzanine boards).

This change adds support for a new "super" bit in the PTE, using the new
arch_make_huge_pte() method. The Tilera hypervisor sees the bit set at a
given level of the page table and gangs together 4, 16, or 64 consecutive
pages from that level of the hierarchy to create a larger TLB entry.
One extra "super" page size can be specified at each of the three levels
of the page table hierarchy on tilegx, using the "hugepagesz" argument
on the boot command line. A new hypervisor API is added to allow Linux
to tell the hypervisor how many PTEs to gang together at each level of
the page table.
To allow pre-allocating huge pages larger than the buddy allocator can
handle, this change modifies the Tilera bootmem support to put all of
memory on tilegx platforms into bootmem.
As part of this change I eliminate the vestigial CONFIG_HIGHPTE support,
which never worked anyway, and eliminate the hv_page_size() API in favor
of the standard vma_kernel_pagesize() API.

This change introduces new flags for the hv_install_context()
API that passes a page table pointer to the hypervisor. Clients
can explicitly request 4K, 16K, or 64K small pages when they
install a new context. In practice, the page size is fixed at
kernel compile time and the same size is always requested every
time a new page table is installed.
The <hv/hypervisor.h> header changes so that it provides more abstract
macros for managing "page" things like PFNs and page tables. For
example there is now a HV_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL instead of the old
HV_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL. The various PFN routines have been eliminated and
only PA- or PTFN-based ones remain (since PTFNs are always expressed
in fixed 2KB "page" size). The page-table management macros are
renamed with a leading underscore and take page-size arguments with
the presumption that clients will use those macros in some single
place to provide the "real" macros they will use themselves.
I happened to notice the old hv_set_caching() API was totally broken
(it assumed 4KB pages) so I changed it so it would nominally work
correctly with other page sizes.
Tag modules with the page size so you can't load a module built with
a conflicting page size. (And add a test for SMP while we're at it.)

The change adds some infrastructure for managing tile pmd's more generally,
using pte_pmd() and pmd_pte() methods to translate pmd values to and
from ptes, since on TILEPro a pmd is really just a nested structure
holding a pgd (aka pte). Several existing pmd methods are moved into
this framework, and a whole raft of additional pmd accessors are defined
that are used by the transparent hugepage framework.
The tile PTE now has a "client2" bit. The bit is used to indicate a
transparent huge page is in the process of being split into subpages.
This change also fixes a generic bug where the return value of the
generic pmdp_splitting_flush() was incorrect.

User space code has been able to discover the static page size
by including a special <hv/pagesize.h> file. In the current release,
that file is now gone, and <asm/page.h> doesn't rely on it. The
getpagesize() API is now the only way for userspace to get the page size.

The current implementations of __ndelay and __udelay call a hypervisor
service to delay, but the hypervisor service isn't actually implemented
very well, and the consensus is that Linux should handle figuring this
out natively and not use a hypervisor service.
By converting nanoseconds to cycles, and then spinning until the
cycle counter reaches the desired cycle, we get several benefits:
first, we are sensitive to the actual clock speed; second, we use
less power by issuing a slow SPR read once every six cycles while
we delay; and third, we properly handle the case of an interrupt by
exiting at the target time rather than after some number of cycles.

This change rolls up random cleanups not representing any actual bugs.
- Remove a stale CONFIG_ value from the default tile_defconfig
- Remove unused tns_atomic_xxx() family of methods from <asm/atomic.h>
- Optimize get_order() using Tile's "clz" instruction
- Fix a bad hypervisor upcall name (not currently used in Linux anyway)
- Use __copy_in_user_inatomic() name for consistency, and export it
- Export some additional hypervisor driver I/O upcalls and some homecache calls
- Remove the obfuscating MEMCPY_TEST_WH64 support code
- Other stray comment cleanups, #if 0 removal, etc.

None of these changes fix any actual bugs, but are just various cleanups
that fell out along the way. In particular, some unused #defines and
includes are removed, PREFETCH_STRIDE is added (the default is right for
our shipping chips, but wrong for our next generation), our tile-specific
prefetching code is removed so the (identical) generic prefetching code
can be used instead, a comment is fixed to be proper GPL and not just a
"paste GPL here" token, a "//" comment is converted to "/* */", etc.

No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet.
This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level
low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are

and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
