Some Marvell PJ4B CPUs also implement iWMMXt extensions. With a
proper check for iWMMXt coprocessors now in place, enable it by
default on PJ4B. While at it, also allow to manually select
the corresponding Kconfig option.

Move the thumb version of the kprobes instruction parsing code into more generic
files from where it can be used by uprobes and possibly other subsystems. The
symbol names will be made more generic in a subsequent part of this patchset.

<title>ARM: signal: sigreturn_codes should be endian neutral to work in BE8</title>

<content type='text'>
In case of BE8 kernel data is in BE order whereas code stays in LE
order. Move sigreturn_codes to separate .S file and use proper
assembler mnemonics for these code snippets. In this case compiler
will take care of proper instructions byteswaps for BE8 case.
Change assumes that sufficiently Thumb-capable tools are used to
build kernel.

Problem was discovered during ltp testing of BE system: all rt_sig*
tests failed. Tested against the same tests in both BE and LE modes.

This patch implements the functions required for the perf registers API,
allowing the perf tool to interface kernel register dumps with libunwind
in order to provide userspace backtracing.

The newly introduced function is to be used as .restart callback for
ARMv7-M machines. The used register is architecturally defined, so it
should work for all M-class machines.

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timer changes contain:

   - posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases

   - sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
     duplication by other architectures

   - alarm timer updates

   - clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities

   - clocksource/events support for new hardware

   - precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)

   - generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities

   - the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place

  The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
  the relevant maintainers.  Though this results in an handful of
  trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
  tree merge dependencies.

  The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
  fixes plus the posix timer lot.  The latter was in akpms queue and
  next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
  collected them last minute."
