In cores which implement the MT ASE, the CPUNum in the EBase register is
a concatenation of the core number &amp; the VPE ID within that core. In
order to retrieve the correct core number CPUNum must be shifted
appropriately to remove the VPE ID bits.

Loongson-1 is a 32-bit MIPS CPU and Loongson-2/3 are 64-bit MIPS CPUs,
and both Loongson-2/3 has the same PRID IMP filed (0x6300). As a
result, renaming PRID_IMP_LOONGSON1 and PRID_IMP_LOONGSON2 to
PRID_IMP_LOONGSON_32 and PRID_IMP_LOONGSON_64 will make more sense.

No current systems implementing MSA include support for vector register
partitioning which makes it somewhat difficult to implement support for
it in the kernel. Thus for the moment the kernel includes no such
support. However if the kernel were to be run on a system which
implemented register partitioning then it would not function correctly,
mishandling MSA disabled exceptions. Print a warning if run on a system
with vector register partitioning implemented to indicate this problem
should it occur.

This patch adds support for probing the MSAP bit within the Config3
register in order to detect the presence of the MSA ASE. Presence of the
ASE will be indicated in /proc/cpuinfo. The value of the MSA
implementation register will be displayed at boot to aid debugging and
verification of a correct setup, as is done for the FPU.

This patch introduces a new SMP implementation for systems implementing
the MIPS Coherent Processing System architecture. The kernel will make
use of the Coherence Manager, Cluster Power Controller &amp; Global
Interrupt Controller in order to detect, bring up &amp; make use of other
cores in the system. SMTC is not supported, so only a single TC per VPE
in the system is used. That is, this option enables an SMVP style setup
but across multiple cores.
