<title>MIPS: Add LLB bit and related feature for the Config 5 CP0 register</title>

The LLBIT (bit 4) in the Config5 CP0 register indicates the software
availability of the Load-Linked bit. This bit is only set by hardware
and it has the following meaning:

0: LLB functionality is not supported
1: LLB functionality is supported. The following feature are also
supported:

- ERETNC instruction. Similar to ERET but it does not clear the LLB
bit in the LLAddr register.
- CP0 LLAddr/LLB bit must be set
- LLbit is software accessible through the LLAddr[0]

This will be used later on to emulate R2 LL/SC instructions.

This is a dual core (quad thread) BMIPS5000.  It needs a little extra
code to boot the second core (CPU2/CPU3), but for now we can treat it the
same as a single core BMIPS5000.

<title>MIPS: cpu-info: Change the cpu options variable to unsigned long long</title>

<content type='text'>
Long integers which are 4 bytes in MIPS32 can't hold new CPU
options anymore, so the type of the 'options' variable is changed
to unsigned long long which allows 32 more cpu options to be defined
for MIPS32

Also, re-arrange the 'options' struct member to avoid potential 4-byte
alignment gap in the middle of the struct.

<title>MIPS: Add Loongson-3B support</title>

Loongson-3B is a 8-cores processor. In general it looks like there are
two Loongson-3A integrated in one chip: 8 cores are separated into two
groups (two NUMA node), each node has its own local memory.

Of course there are some differences between one Loongson-3B and two
Loongson-3A. E.g., the base addresses of IPI registers of each node are
not the same; Loongson-3A use ChipConfig register to enable/disable
clock, but Loongson-3B use FreqControl register instead.

There are two revision of Loongson-3B, the first revision is called as
Loongson-3B1000, whose frequency is 1GHz and has a PRid 0x6306, the
second revision is called as Loongson-3B1500, whose frequency is 1.5GHz
and has a PRid 0x6307. Both revisions has a bug that clock cannot be
disabled at runtime, but this will be fixed in future.
