Although kernel doesn't support the multiple IRQ priority levels provided
by HS38x core intc yet, ensure that the default prio value is used
anyways by relevant code.

SLEEP insn needs to be provided the IRQ priority level which can
interrupt it. This needs to be the default level which maynot
necessarily be 0 as assumed by current code.

This change allows a kernel with ARCV2_IRQ_DEF_PRIO = 1 to boot fine.

cpu_relax() on ARC has been barrier only for SMP (and no-op for UP). Per
recent discussions, it is safer to make it a compiler barrier
unconditionally.

     This enables weakly ordered architectures (such as arm64) to make
     use of more locking related optimizations.  (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - Implement atomic[64]_{inc,dec}_relaxed() on ARM.  (Will Deacon)

     Villemoes)

   - pvqspinlock runtime overhead micro-optimization.  (Waiman Long)

<title>ARC: mm: HIGHMEM: kmap API implementation</title>

<id>45890f6d34e70d9dd194bd1729eba3ff72cabf78</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement kmap* API for ARC.

This enables
 - permanent kernel maps (pkmaps): :kmap() API
 - fixmap : kmap_atomic()

We use a very simple/uniform approach for both (unlike some of the other
arches). So fixmap doesn't use the customary compile time address stuff.
The important semantic is sleep'ability (pkmap) vs. not (fixmap) which
the API guarantees.

Note that this patch only enables highmem for subsequent PAE40 support
as there is no real highmem for ARC in pure 32-bit paradigm as explained
below.

ARC has 2:2 address split of the 32-bit address space with lower half
being translated (virtual) while upper half unstranslated
(0x8000_0000 to 0xFFFF_FFFF). kernel itself is linked at base of
unstranslated space (i.e. 0x8000_0000 onwards), which is mapped to say
DDR 0x0 by external Bus Glue logic (outside the core). So kernel can
potentially access 1.75G worth of memory directly w/o need for highmem.
(the top 256M is taken by uncached peripheral space from 0xF000_0000 to
0xFFFF_FFFF)

In PAE40, hardware can address memory beyond 4G (0x1_0000_0000) while
the logical/virtual addresses remain 32-bits. Thus highmem is required
for kernel proper to be able to access these pages for it's own purposes
(user space is agnostic to this anyways).

 - copy_user_highpage() needs to be using the kmap_atomic API
 - mk_pte() can't assume page_address()
 - do_page_fault() can't assume VMALLOC_END is end of kernel vaddr space
