<title>MIPS: Add CPU shared FTLB feature detection</title>

Some systems share FTLB RAMs or entries between sibling CPUs (ie.
hardware threads, or VP(E)s, within a core). These properties require
kernel handling in various places. As a start this patch introduces
cpu_has_shared_ftlb_ram &amp; cpu_has_shared_ftlb_entries feature macros
which we set appropriately for I6400 &amp; I6500 CPUs. Further patches will
make use of these macros as appropriate.

Introduce the I6500 PRID &amp; probe it just the same way as I6400. The MIPS
I6500 is the latest in Imagination Technologies' I-Class range of CPUs,
with a focus on scalability &amp; heterogeneity. It introduces the notion of
multiple clusters to the MIPS Coherent Processing System, allowing for a
far higher total number of cores &amp; threads in a system when compared
with its predecessors. Clusters don't need to be identical, and may
contain differing numbers of cores &amp; IOCUs, or cores with differing
properties.

This patch alone adds the basic support for booting Linux on an I6500
CPU without support for any of its new functionality, for which support
will be introduced in further patches.

Add definitions and probing of the UFR bit in Config5. This bit allows
user mode control of the FR bit (floating point register mode). It is
present if the UFRP bit is set in the floating point implementation
register.

This is a capability KVM may want to expose to guest kernels, even
though Linux is unlikely to ever use it due to the implications for
multi-threaded programs.

Add a few new cpu-features.h definitions for VZ sub-features, namely the
existence of the CP0_GuestCtl0Ext, CP0_GuestCtl1, and CP0_GuestCtl2
registers, and support for GuestID to dialias TLB entries belonging to
different guests.

Also add certain features present in the guest, with the naming scheme
cpu_guest_has_*. These are added separately to the main options bitfield
since they generally parallel similar features in the root context. A
few of these (FPU, MSA, watchpoints, perf counters, CP0_[X]ContextConfig
registers, MAAR registers, and probably others in future) can be
dynamically configured in the guest context, for which the
cpu_guest_has_dyn_* macros are added.

Add CPU feature for standard MIPS r2 performance counters, as determined
by the Config1.PC bit. Both perf_events and oprofile probe this bit, so
lets combine the probing and change both to use cpu_has_perf.

This will also be used for VZ support in KVM to know whether performance
counters exist which can be exposed to guests.

CP0_[X]Context are set to the faulting virtual address on a TLB

KVM/VZ will need to be able to save and restore these registers in the

<content type='text'>
The optional CP0_BadInstr and CP0_BadInstrP registers are written with
the encoding of the instruction that caused a synchronous exception to
occur, and the prior branch instruction if in a delay slot.

These will be useful for instruction emulation in KVM, and especially
for VZ support where reading guest virtual memory is a bit more awkward.

Add CPU option numbers and cpu_has_* definitions to indicate the
presence of each registers, and add code to probe for them using bits in
the CP0_Config3 register.

The optional CP0_BadInstr and CP0_BadInstrP registers are written with
the encoding of the instruction that caused a synchronous exception to
occur, and the prior branch instruction if in a delay slot.

These will be useful for instruction emulation in KVM, and especially
for VZ support where reading guest virtual memory is a bit more awkward.

Add CPU option numbers and cpu_has_* definitions to indicate the
presence of each registers, and add code to probe for them using bits in
the CP0_Config3 register.
