The notable features are:
    - SMP configurations of upto 4 cores with coherency
    - Optional L2 Cache and IO-Coherency
    - Revised Interrupt Architecture (multiple priorites, reg banks,
        auto stack switch, auto regfile save/restore)
    - MMUv4 (PIPT dcache, Huge Pages)
    - Instructions for
	* 64bit load/store: LDD, STD
	* Hardware assisted divide/remainder: DIV, REM
	* Function prologue/epilogue: ENTER_S, LEAVE_S
	* IRQ enable/disable: CLRI, SETI
	* pop count: FFS, FLS
	* SETcc, BMSKN, XBFU...

* Remove the Kconfig option to do so, base it on a runtime value passed

<title>arc: remove '__init' for first_lines_of_secondary()</title>

first_lines_of_secondary() is a '__init' function, but it may be called
by __cpu_up() by _cpu_up() by cpu_up() which is a normal export symbol
function. So recommend to remove '__init'.

The related warning (with allmodconfig):

    MODPOST vmlinux.o
  WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x315c): Section mismatch in reference from the function __cpu_up() to the function .init.text:first_lines_of_secondary()
  The function __cpu_up() references
  the function __init first_lines_of_secondary().
  This is often because __cpu_up lacks a __init
  annotation or the annotation of first_lines_of_secondary is wrong.

<title>ARC: SMP failed to boot due to missing IVT setup</title>

Commit 05b016ecf5e7a "ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot" moved
the Interrupt vector Table setup out of arc_init_IRQ() which is called
for all CPUs, to entry point of boot cpu only, breaking booting of others.

Fix by adding the same to entry point of non-boot CPUs too.

read_arc_build_cfg_regs() printing IVT Base Register didn't help the
casue since it prints a synthetic value if zero which is totally bogus,
so fix that to print the exact Register.

[vgupta: Remove the now stale comment from header of arc_init_IRQ and
also added the commentary for halt-on-reset]

Otherwise early boot exceptions such as instructions errors due to
configuration mismatch between kernel and hardware go off to la-la land,
as opposed to hitting the handler and panic()'ing properly.
