sh: speculative execution support for SH7780.
SH7780 has a speculative execution mode where it can speculatively perform an instruction fetch for subroutine returns, this allows it to be enabled. There are some various pitfalls associated with this mode, so it's left as depending on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL and not enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
