The upstream kernel ABI (v3) is different from current out-of-tree (v2):
* no-legacy-syscalls
* user_regs_struct layout has changed

So we rev up the ABI version

<title>ARC: gdbserver using regset interface possibly broken</title>

ptrace regset interface relies on ELF_NGREG for ceiling the size of user
request. So any larger request (even if legit)  would be clipped.

The existing def of ELF_NGREG didn't use user_regs_struct and was
technically one placeholder short (stop_pc) - although the current code
would still work because pt_regs includes a bunch of extra fields,
making
      ELF_NGREG &gt;= sizeof(struct user_regs_struct)/sizeof(long)

But we need to remove this ambiguity, specially since pt_regs should NOT
be directly associated with with anything userspace-ish.

The flat DT (currently embedded in vmlinux) is in .init section.
The unflattened/binary tree doesn't copy strings through and references
them from orig flat DT - which could cause catestrohpy if of_* APIs are
called post init, say from a driver which is a loadable module.

This again is for switch from singleton platform SMP API to
multi-platform paradigm

Platform code is not yet setup to populate the callbacks, that happens
in next commit

All the current platforms can work with 0x8000_0000 based dma_addr_t
since the Bus Bridges typically ignore the top bit (the only excpetion
was Angel4 PCI-AHB bridge which we no longer care for).
That way we don't need plat-specific cpu-addr to bus-addr conversion.

Hooks still provided - just in case a platform has an obscure device
which say needs 0 based bus address.

That way &lt;asm/dma_mapping.h&gt; no longer needs to unconditinally include
&lt;plat/dma_addr.h&gt;

Also verfied that on Angel4 board, other peripherals (IDE-disk / EMAC)
work fine with 0x8000_0000 based dma addresses.
