Outlining fixes the issue were on certain CPUs such as the R10000 family
the delay loop would need an extra cycle if it overlaps a cacheline
boundary.

The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in
way incompatible with the kernel's inline assembly.

Relying on pure C for computation of the delay value removes the need for
explicit.  The price we pay is a slight slowdown of the computation - to
be fixed on another day.

<title>MIPS: Use force_sig when handling address errors.</title>

When init is started it is SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.  If it were to get an
address error, we would try to send it SIGBUS, but it would be ignored
and the faulting instruction restarted.  This results in an endless
loop.

We need to use force_sig() instead so it will actually die and give us
some useful information.

The LTP timerfd01 test is failing (blocking forever) on the 32-bit ABIs. We
need to use the compat_* wrappers for these system calls.

Commit 779e7d41ad004946603da139da99ba775f74cb1c created a name collision
in SMTC builds.  The attached patch corrects this in a a
not-too-terribly-ugly manner.  Note that the SMTC case has to come
first, because CEVT_R4K will also be true.

<id>270717a8a0e5f03c104a6d47466036b615edfcde</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes the various CPU_AU1??? model constants in favor of
a single CPU_ALCHEMY one.

All currently existing Alchemy models are identical in terms of cpu
core and cache size/organization.  The parts of the mips kernel which
need to know the exact CPU revision extract it from the c0_prid register
already; and finally nothing else in-tree depends on those any more.

Should a new variant with slightly different "company options" and/or
"processor revision" bits in c0_prid appear, it will be supported
immediately (minus an exact model string in cpuinfo).
