After analyzing the elements that save_flags/cli/sti/restore_flags were
protecting, convert their usages to a global spinlock (the easiest and
most obvious next-step).  There were some usages of flags being
intentionally cached, because the code already knew the state of
interrupts.  These have been taken into account.

This allows us to remove CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP.  Completely untested.

This includes code for new fifo-based xps_hwicap in addition to the
older opb_hwicap, which has a significantly different interface.  The
common code between the two drivers is largely shared.

Significant differences exists between this driver and what is
supported in the EDK drivers.  In particular, most of the
architecture-specific code for reconfiguring individual FPGA resources
has been removed.  This functionality is likely better provided in a
user-space support library.  In addition, read and write access is
supported.  In addition, although the xps_hwicap cores support
interrupt-driver mode, this driver only supports polled operation, in
order to make the code simpler, and since the interrupt processing
overhead is likely to slow down the throughput under Linux.

The count of legacy pty devices can be set by a kernel commandline
parameter. For the distro kernel, we would like to disable all pty's
by default, but keep the opportunity to request devices on the kernel
