Subject: [PATCH 00/19] ARCv2 port to Linux - (A) prepratory patches

Hi,

ARCv2 is the next generation ISA from Synopsys and basis for the
HS3{4,6,8} families of processors which retain the traditional ARC mantra of
low power and configurability and are now more performant and feature rich.

Linux has been ported to HS38x series, a 10 stage pipeline core which
supports MMU (with huge pages) and SMP (upto 4 cores) among other features.

 - http://www.embedded.com/electronics-news/4435975/Synopsys-ARC-HS38-core-gives-2X-boost-to-Linux-based-apps

This sub-series introduces changes to existing in-tree port of ARC700 core
(based on ARCompact ISA) to allow for better code sharing with new ARCv2 code.

The actual ARCv2 port will follow as a seperate series.

Please review !

Thx,
-Vineet

  ARC: mm/cache_arc700.c -> mm/cache.c
  ARC: cacheflush: move some code around, delete old comments
  ARC: cacheflush: No need to retain DC_CTRL from __before_dc_op()
  ARC: untangle cache flush loop
  ARC: entry.S: common'ize scrtach reg freeup in intr + exceptions
  ARC: entry.S: Introduce INTERRUPT_{PROLOGUE,EPILOGUE}
  ARC: entry.S: canonical'ize EXCEPTION_{PROLOGUE,EPILOGUE}
  ARC: entry.S: confine EXCEPTION_* macros to one file
  ARC: entry.S: FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN can always use r9

  ARC: entry.S: comments cleanup
  ARC: entry.S: Ensure that restore_regs is local to compilation unit
  ARC: entry.S: split into ARCompact ISA specific, common bits
  ARC: entry.S: move some code around for cache locality in return path
  ARC: entry.S: micro-optimize Trap handler
  ARC: entry.S: use single EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE
  ARC: entry.S: [arcompact] simplify SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_STK
  ARC: Make way for pt_regs != user_regs_struct
  ARC: intc: split into ARCompact ISA specific, common bits
