Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:

{standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
  LD      arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
 uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
 arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float

To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS;  but then we also need
to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.

Removed obsolete stuff from arch makefile.
mips had a special rule for generating asm-offsets.h so preserved it
using an architecture specific hook in top-level Kbuild file.
Renamed .h file to asm-offsets.h

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
