<content type='text'>
Disable usage of PREF instruction usage by memcpy for MIPS R6.

MIPS R6 redefines PREF instruction with smaller offset than
ordinary MIPS. However, the memcpy code uses PREF instruction
with offsets bigger than +-256 bytes.

Malta kernels already disable usage of PREF for memcpy.

This was found during adaptation of MIPS R6 for virtual board
used by Android emulator.

MIPS R6 does not support the unaligned load and store instructions
so we add a special MIPS R6 case to copy one byte at a time if we
need to read/write to unaligned memory addresses.

Commit cf62a8b8134dd3 ("MIPS: lib: memcpy: Use macro to build the
copy_user code") switched to a macro in order to build the memcpy
symbols in preparation for the EVA support. However, this commit
also removed the NOP instruction after the 'jr ra' when returning
back to the caller. This had no visible side-effects since the next
instruction was a load to the t0 register which was already in the
clobbered list, but it may have undesired effects in the future
if some other code is introduced in between the .Ldone and
the .Ll_exc_copy labels.

Add copy_{to,from,in}_user when the CPU operates in EVA mode.
This is necessary so the EVA specific instructions can be used
to perform the virtual to physical translation for user space
addresses. We will use the non-EVA functions to read from kernel
if needed.

separate macros, PREFS and PREFD, for source and destination data
prefetching respectively.

Each load/store macro always adds an entry to the __ex_table
using the EXC macro. Therefore, these load/store macros are now merged
with the EXC one. The argument list is also expanded in order to make
the macro more flexible. The extra 'type' argument is not used by this
commit, but it will be used when the EVA support is added to the memcpy.
