Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the main pull request for MIPS:

   - a number of fixes that didn't make the 3.19 release.

   - a number of cleanups.

   - preliminary support for Cavium's Octeon 3 SOCs which feature up to
     48 MIPS64 R3 cores with FPU and hardware virtualization.

   - support for MIPS R6 processors.

     Revision 6 of the MIPS architecture is a major revision of the MIPS
     architecture which does away with many of original sins of the
     architecture such as branch delay slots.  This and other changes in
     R6 require major changes throughout the entire MIPS core
     architecture code and make up for the lion share of this pull
     request.

   - finally some preparatory work for eXtendend Physical Address
     support, which allows support of up to 40 bit of physical address
     space on 32 bit processors"

     [ Ahh, MIPS can't leave the PAE brain damage alone.  It's like
       every CPU architect has to make that mistake, but pee in the snow
       by changing the TLA.  But whether it's called PAE, LPAE or XPA,
       it's horrid crud   - Linus ]

* 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: (114 commits)
  MIPS: sead3: Corrected get_c0_perfcount_int
  MIPS: mm: Remove dead macro definitions
  MIPS: OCTEON: irq: add CIB and other fixes
  MIPS: OCTEON: Don't do acknowledge operations for level triggered irqs.
  MIPS: OCTEON: More OCTEONIII support
  MIPS: OCTEON: Remove setting of processor specific CVMCTL icache bits.
  MIPS: OCTEON: Core-15169 Workaround and general CVMSEG cleanup.
  MIPS: OCTEON: Update octeon-model.h code for new SoCs.
  MIPS: OCTEON: Implement DCache errata workaround for all CN6XXX
  MIPS: OCTEON: Add little-endian support to asm/octeon/octeon.h

activate_mm() and switch_mm() call get_new_mmu_context() which in turn
can enable the HTW before the entryhi is changed with the new ASID.
Since the latter will enable the HTW in local_flush_tlb_all(),
then there is a small timing window where the HTW is running with the
new ASID but with an old pgd since the TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP_PGD
hasn't assigned a new one yet. In order to prevent that, we introduce a
simple htw counter to avoid starting HTW accidentally due to nested
htw_{start,stop}() sequences. Moreover, since various IPI calls can
enforce TLB flushing operations on a different core, such an operation
may interrupt another htw_{stop,start} in progress leading inconsistent
updates of the htw_seq variable. In order to avoid that, we disable the
interrupts whenever we update that variable.

Whenever we modify a page table entry, we need to ensure that the HTW
will not fetch a stable entry. And for that to happen we need to ensure
that HTW is stopped before we modify the said entry otherwise the HTW
may already be in the process of reading that entry and fetching the
old information. As a result of which, we replace the htw_reset() calls
with htw_{stop,start} in more appropriate places. This also removes the
remaining users of htw_reset() and as a result we drop that macro

When we use htw_{start,stop}() outside of htw_reset(), we need
to ensure that c0 changes have been propagated properly before
we attempt to continue with subsequence memory operations.

Previously, the pgprot_writecombine function was simply defined
as pgprot_uncached in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h. This is not
optimal for cores that can actually do write-combine memory writes
so define this function to take into account the core's cache coherency
attribute to achieve such behavior.
