This patch allows using a kernel image compressed with LZMA on ARM.
Extracting the image is fairly slow, but it might be useful on machines
with a very limited amount of storage, as the size benefit is quite
significant (about 25% smaller with LZMA compared to GZIP)

We used to build decompressors with -Dstatic= to avoid any local data
being generated. The problem is that local data generates GOTOFF
relocations, which means we can't relocate the data relative to the
text segment.
Global data, on the other hand, goes through the GOT, and can be
relocated anywhere.
Unfortunately, with the new decompressors, this presents a problem
since they declare static data within functions, and this leads to
stack overflow.
Fix this by separating out the decompressor code into a separate file,
and removing 'static' from BSS data in misc.c.
Also, discard the .data section - this means that should we end up
with read/write initialized data, the decompressor will fail to link
and the problem will be obvious.

- changes to ach/arch/boot/Makefile to make it easier to add new
compression types
- new piggy.lzo.S necessary for lzo compression
- changes in arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c to allow the use of lzo or
gzip, depending on the config
- Kconfig support

Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian
(byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support:
- setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and
user threads
- big-endian page table walking
- REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault
processing as they are still little-endian format
- Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed
to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to
little-endian

The CLPS7500 platform has not built since 2.6.22-git7 and there

Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.
This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

This allows assembly files to be crafted to cover all ARM CPU types
rather than erroring out on instructions only in later CPUs. We
are careful in these files to only execute CPU specific code when
the CPU ID says we can.

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.
This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

font_acorn_8x8.o was being built in drivers/video/console/ twice
during a build _in the same location_ - once for the kernel proper,
and once for the decompressor. The result is when you came to run an
install target, the kernel was always rebuilt due to this file
apparantly having been built with different compiler arguments.
Solve this by making a local copy at build time in the decompressor's
directory.

All the current CP15 access codes in ARM arch can be categorized and
conditioned by the defines as follows:
Related operation Safe condition
a. any CP15 access !CPU_CP15
b. alignment trap CPU_CP15_MMU
c. D-cache(C-bit) CPU_CP15
d. I-cache CPU_CP15 && !( CPU_ARM610 || CPU_ARM710 ||
CPU_ARM720 || CPU_ARM740 ||
CPU_XSCALE || CPU_XSC3 )
e. alternate vector CPU_CP15 && !CPU_ARM740
f. TTB CPU_CP15_MMU
g. Domain CPU_CP15_MMU
h. FSR/FAR CPU_CP15_MMU
For example, alternate vector is supported if and only if
"CPU_CP15 && !CPU_ARM740" is satisfied.

EPXA10DB seems to be uncared for:
- the "PLD" code has never been merged
- no one has reported that this platform has been broken since
at least 2.6.10
- interest seems to have dried up around March 2003.
Therefore, remove EPXA10DB support.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
