Now that we have referece to section name string table in
apply_relocate_add(), use it to

 - print the name of section being relocated
 - print symbol with NULL name (since it refers to a section)

The loop was really needed in .debug_frame regime where wanted make it
as SH_ALLOC so that apply_relocate_add() would process it. That's not
needed for .eh_frame, so we check this in apply_relocate_add() which
gets called for each section.

Note that we need to save reference to "section name strings" section in
module_frob_arch_sections() since apply_relocate_add() doesn't get that

These are really ancient toggles and tools no longer require them to be
passed. This paves way for deprecating them in long run.

<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

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

if user disables IOC from debugger at startup (by clearing @ioc_enable),
@ioc_exists is cleared too. This means boot prints don't capture the
fact that IOC was present but disabled which could be misleading.

So invert how we use @ioc_enable and @ioc_exists and make it more
canonical. @ioc_exists represent whether hardware is present or not and
stays same whether enabled or not. @ioc_enable is still user driven,
but will be auto-disabled if IOC hardware is not present, i.e. if
@ioc_exist=0. This is opposite to what we were doing before, but much
clearer.

This means @ioc_enable is now the "exported" toggle in rest of code such
as dma mapping API.
