    [MIPS] Add basic SMARTMIPS ASE support · 9693a853

    This patch adds trivial support for SMARTMIPS extension. This extension
    is currently implemented by 4KS[CD] CPUs.
    
    Basically it saves/restores ACX register, which is part of the SMARTMIPS
    ASE, when needed. This patch does *not* add any support for Smartmips MMU
    features.
    
    Futhermore this patch does not add explicit support for 4KS[CD] CPUs since
    they are respectively mips32 and mips32r2 compliant.  So with the current
    processor configuration, a platform that has such CPUs needs to select
    both configs:
    
    	CPU_HAS_SMARTMIPS
    	SYS_HAS_CPU_MIPS32_R[12]
    
    This is due to the processor configuration which is mixing up all the
    architecture variants and the processor types.
    
    The drawback of this, is that we currently pass '-march=mips32' option to
    gcc when building a kernel instead of '-march=4ksc' for 4KSC case. This
    can lead to a kernel image a little bit bigger than required.
