Pull Xtensa updates from Chris Zankel:
 "Xtensa improvements for 4.6:

   - control whether perf IRQ is treated as NMI from Kconfig
   - implement ioremap for regions outside KIO segment
   - fix ISS serial port behaviour when EOF is reached
   - fix preemption in {clear,copy}_user_highpage

     fully functional
   - clean up debug infrastructure and add support for hardware
     breakpoints and watchpoints

Use perf framework to manage hardware instruction and data breakpoints.
Add two new ptrace calls: PTRACE_GETHBPREGS and PTRACE_SETHBPREGS to
query and set instruction and data breakpoints.
Address bit 0 choose instruction (0) or data (1) break register, bits
31..1 are the register number.
Both calls transfer two 32-bit words: address (0) and control (1).
Instruction breakpoint contorl word is 0 to clear breakpoint, 1 to set.
Data breakpoint control word bit 31 is 'trigger on store', bit 30 is
'trigger on load, bits 29..0 are length. Length 0 is used to clear a
breakpoint. To set a breakpoint length must be a power of 2 in the range
1..64 and the address must be length-aligned.

Introduce new thread_info flag: TIF_DB_DISABLED. Set it if debug
exception is raised by the kernel code accessing watched userspace
address and disable corresponding data breakpoint. On exit to userspace
check that flag and, if set, restore all data breakpoints.

Handle debug exceptions raised with PS.EXCM set. This may happen when
window overflow/underflow handler or fast exception handler hits data
breakpoint, in which case save and disable all data breakpoints,
single-step faulting instruction and restore data breakpoints.

With implementation of data breakpoints debug exceptions raised when
PS.EXCM is set need to be handled, e.g. window overflow code can write
to watched userspace address. Currently debug exception handler uses
EXCSAVE and DEPC SRs to save temporary registers, but DEPC may not be
available when PS.EXCM is set and more space will be needed to save
additional state.
Reorganize debug context: create per-CPU structure debug_table instance
and store its address in the EXCSAVE&lt;debug level&gt; instead of
debug_exception function address. Expand this structure when more save
space is needed.

under arch/xtensa/kernel. Remove these bits.

There are XCHAL_NUM_DBREAK registers, clear them all.
This also fixes cryptic assembler error message with binutils 2.25 when
XCHAL_NUM_DBREAK is 0:

<title>arch/hotplug: Call into idle with a proper state</title>

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.

Do not always use fake NMI when safe, provide Kconfig option instead.
Print a warning if fake NMI is chosen in unsafe configuration, but allow
it, because it may work if the user knows that interrupts with
priorities at or above PMM IRQ are not used. Add a check to NMI handler
that BUGs if any of these IRQs fire.

Drop remapped copies of primary and secondary reset vectors, as modern
gdb don't have problems stepping through instructions at arbitrary
locations. Drop corresponding sections from the corresponding linker
