This lets us build a multiplatform kernel for experimental purposes.
However, it will not be useful for any real work, because it relies
on a number of useful things to be disabled for now:

* SMP support must be turned off because of conflicting symbols.
  Marc Zyngier has proposed a solution by adding a new SOC
  operations structure to hold indirect function pointers
  for these, but that work is currently stalled

* We turn on SPARSE_IRQ unconditionally, which is not supported
  on most platforms. Each of them is currently in a different
  state, but most are being worked on.

* A common clock framework is in place since v3.4 but not yet
  being used. Work on this is on its way.

* DEBUG_LL for early debugging is currently disabled.

* THUMB2_KERNEL does not work with allyesconfig because the
  kernel gets too big

[Rob Herring]: Rebased to not be dependent on the mass mach header rename.
As a result, omap2plus, imx, mxs and ux500 are not converted. Highbank,
picoxcell, mvebu, and socfpga are converted.

This is a small subset of string functions needed by commits to come.
Except for memcpy() which is unchanged from its original location, their
implementation is meant to be small, and -Os is enforced to prevent gcc
from doing pointless loop unrolling.

If decompress() returns an error without calling error(), we must
not attempt to boot the resulting kernel.

The return value for decompress_kernel() is no longer used.  Furthermore,
this was obtained and stored in a variable called output_ptr which is
a complete misnomer for what is actually the size of the decompressed
kernel image.  Let's get rid of it.

<title>ARM: 6826/1: Merge v6 and v7 DEBUG_LL DCC support</title>

The inline assembly differences for v6 vs. v7 are purely
optimizations. On a v7 processor, an mrc with the pc sets the
condition codes to the 28-31 bits of the register being read. It
just so happens that the TX/RX full bits the DCC support code is
testing for are high enough in the register to be put into the
condition codes. On a v6 processor, this "feature" isn't
implemented and thus we have to do the usual read, mask, test
operations to check for TX/RX full. Thus, we can drop the v7
implementation and just use the v6 implementation for both.

<title>ARM: v6k: introduce CPU_V6K option</title>

Introduce a CPU_V6K configuration option for platforms to select if they
have a V6K CPU core.  This allows us to identify whether we need to
support ARMv6 CPUs without the V6K SMP extensions at build time.

Currently CPU_V6K is just an alias for CPU_V6, and all places which
reference CPU_V6 are replaced by (CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K).

Select CPU_V6K from platforms which are known to be V6K-only.

I tried to get this running to debug the regression introduced by
e7db7b4 without success.  But this has several problems that make it
hard to fix:

  - lib/decompress_inflate.c includes in-kernel headers that make
    it difficult to compile for user space.
  - the binary formats changed both in kernel and user space and
    at least for the kernel side there isn't only a single
    variant.

Commit 5de813b6 (ARM: Eliminate decompressor -Dstatic= PIC hack) among
other things changed the declared type of the error() function to an
extern, conflicting with the forward declartion in the Samsung
plat/uncompress.h which appears to have been relying on the static
being defined away, causing build failures since error() ends up with
a GOT relocation but the linker script discards all GOT relocated
data and functions:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/decompress.o: In function `gunzip':
/home/broonie/git/linux-2.6/arch/arm/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/decompress_
+inflate.c:68: undefined reference to `error'

and so on. Fix this by moving the declaration into uncompress/misc.c
where it is shared with the rest of the code, correcting the definition
as we go.
