Accumulator is present in configs with FPU and/or DSP MPY (mpy &gt; 6)

Instead of doing this in pt_regs (and thus every kernel entry/exit),
this could have been done in context switch (and for user task only) as
currently kernel doesn't clobber these registers for its own accord.
However we will soon start using 64-bit multiply instructions for kernel
which can clobber these. Also gcc folks also plan to start using these
as GPRs, hence better to always save/restore them

<title>ARC: get rate from clk driver instead of reading device tree</title>

We were reading clock rate directly from device tree "clock-frequency"
property of corresponding clock node in show_cpuinfo function.

Such approach is correct only in case cpu is always clocked by
"fixed-clock". If we use clock driver that allows rate to be changed
this won't work as rate may change during the time or even
"clock-frequency" property may not be presented at all.

So this commit replaces reading device tree with getting rate from clock
driver. This approach is much more flexible and will work for both fixed
and mutable clocks.

The original distinction was done as they were developed at different
times and primarily because they are specific to UP (RTC) and SMP (GFRC).

But given that driver handles that at runtime, (i.e. not allowing
RTC as clocksource in SMP), we can simplify things a bit.

<title>ARC: boot log: refactor cpu name/release printing</title>

The motivation is to identify ARC750 vs. ARC770 (we currently print
generic "ARC700").

A given ARC700 release could be 750 or 770, with same ARCNUM (or family
identifier which is unfortunate). The existing arc_cpu_tbl[] kept a single
concatenated string for core name and release which thus doesn't work
for 750 vs. 770 identification.

So split this into 2 tables, one with core names and other with release.
And while we are at it, get rid of the range checking for family numbers.
We just document the known to exist cores running Linux and ditch
others.

With this in place, we add detection of ARC750 which is
 - cores 0x33 and before
 - cores 0x34 and later with MMUv2

This came to light when helping a customer with oldish ARC750 core who
were getting instruction errors because of lack of SWAPE but boot log
was incorrectly printing it as being present

On older arc700 cores, some of the features configured were not present
in Build config registers. To print about them at boot, we just use the
Kconfig option i.e. whether linux is built to use them or not.
So yes this seems bogus, but what else can be done. Moreover if linux is
booting with these enabled, then the Kconfig info is a good indicator
anyways.

Over time these "hacks" accumulated in read_arc_build_cfg_regs() as well
as arc_cpu_mumbojumbo(). so refactor and move all of those in a single
place: read_arc_build_cfg_regs(). This causes some code redcution too:

| bloat-o-meter2 arch/arc/kernel/setup.o.0 arch/arc/kernel/setup.o.1
| add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 64/-132 (-68)
| function                                     old     new   delta
| setup_processor                              610     670     +60
| cpuinfo_arc700                                76      80      +4
| arc_cpu_mumbojumbo                           752     620    -132

Previously we would not print the case when IOC existed but was not
enabled.

And while at it, reduce one line off boot printing by consolidating
the Peripheral address space and IO-Coherency which in a way
applies to them

num_possible_cpus() returns how many CPUs may be present on system.
However we want the highest possible CPU number.
This may be differ in a sparsed possible CPUs map.
Such map achived by OF for plat-eznps.

For example if we have:
possible cpus mask 0,3

Then:
num_possible_cpus() is equal 2
	while
nr_cpu_ids is equal 4.

Only for value 4 c_start() will provide correct cpuinfo at procfs.

HS release 3.0 provides for even more flexibility in specifying the
volatile address space for mapping peripherals.

With HS 2.1 @start was made flexible / programmable - with HS 3.0 even
@end can be setup (vs. fixed to 0xFFFF_FFFF before).

So add code to reflect that and while at it remove an unused struct
defintion
