Subject: [PATCH 00/22] Openrisc patchees from backlog for 4.11

Hi All,

This is another set of patches which I have been pulling out of the
openrisc backlogs. Its a bit of a process since I need to cleanup commit
messages, review and test the patches.

The interesting things here are:
 - optimized memset and memcpy routines, ~20% boot time saving
 - support for cpu idling
 - adding support for l.swa and l.lwa atomic operations (in spec from 2014)
 - use atomics to implement: bitops, cmpxchg, futex, spinlocks
 - the atomics are in preparation for SMP support

Testing:
I have used the kselftests to validate the changes especially the futex
operations with the futex test. Other atomic operations are common so no
explicit testing.

Note for testers:
The l.swa and l.lwa emulation is broken in qemu openrisc port. I have sent
patches [1] to qemu-devel to fix the qemu issues.
