Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] xtensa: support artificial division by 0 exception

On xtensa cores wihout hardware division option division support
functions from libgcc react to division by 0 attempt by executing
illegal instruction followed by the characters 'DIV0'. Recognize this
pattern in illegal instruction exception handler and convert it to
division by 0.

Signed-off-by: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@...il.com>
---
Changes v2->v3:

- simplify check_div0 by dropping check for the specific illegal
  instruction and only verifying the 'DIV0' signature

Changes v1->v2:

- split ABI probing improvement from the artificial division by 0
- don't limit artificial division by 0 pattern detection to
  configurations without HW division opcodes, do it always
