Detect the presence of MAAR using the MRP bit in Config5, and record
that presence using a CPU option bit. A cpu_has_maar macro will then
allow code to conditionalise upon the presence of MAARs.

<title>MIPS: cpu-info: Change the cpu options variable to unsigned long long</title>

<id>03a58777de0895864ccdb93249f3ce8d9fcc13ac</id>
<content type='text'>
Long integers which are 4 bytes in MIPS32 can't hold new CPU
options anymore, so the type of the 'options' variable is changed
to unsigned long long which allows 32 more cpu options to be defined
for MIPS32

Also, re-arrange the 'options' struct member to avoid potential 4-byte
alignment gap in the middle of the struct.

<title>MIPS: Add Loongson-3B support</title>

<content type='text'>
Loongson-3B is a 8-cores processor. In general it looks like there are
two Loongson-3A integrated in one chip: 8 cores are separated into two
groups (two NUMA node), each node has its own local memory.

Of course there are some differences between one Loongson-3B and two
Loongson-3A. E.g., the base addresses of IPI registers of each node are
not the same; Loongson-3A use ChipConfig register to enable/disable
clock, but Loongson-3B use FreqControl register instead.

There are two revision of Loongson-3B, the first revision is called as
Loongson-3B1000, whose frequency is 1GHz and has a PRid 0x6306, the
second revision is called as Loongson-3B1500, whose frequency is 1.5GHz
and has a PRid 0x6307. Both revisions has a bug that clock cannot be
disabled at runtime, but this will be fixed in future.

Loongson-3 is a multi-core MIPS family CPU, it support MIPS64R2 fully.
Loongson-3 has the same IMP field (0x6300) as Loongson-2.

Loongson-3 has a hardware-maintained cache, system software doesn't
need to maintain coherency.

Loongson-3A is the first revision of Loongson-3, and it is the quad-
core version of Loongson-2G. Loongson-3A has a simplified version named
Loongson-2Gq, the main difference between Loongson-3A/2Gq is 3A has two
HyperTransport controller but 2Gq has only one. HT0 is used for cross-
chip interconnection and HT1 is used to link PCI bus. Therefore, 2Gq
cannot support NUMA but 3A can. For software, Loongson-2Gq is simply
identified as Loongson-3A.

Exsisting Loongson family CPUs:
Loongson-1: Loongson-1A, Loongson-1B, they are 32-bit MIPS CPUs.
Loongson-2: Loongson-2E, Loongson-2F, Loongson-2G, they are 64-bit
            single-core MIPS CPUs.
Loongson-3: Loongson-3A(including so-called Loongson-2Gq), they are
            64-bit multi-core MIPS CPUs.

The M5150 core is a 32-bit MIPS RISC which implements the
MIPS Architecture Release-5  in a 5-stage pipeline.
In addition, it includes the MIPS Architecture Virtualization Module
that enables virtualization of operating systems,
which provides a scalable, trusted, and secure execution environment.
