Vineet Gupta 3971cdc202 ARC: boot: Support Halt-on-reset and Run-on-reset SMP booting modes
For Run-on-reset, non masters need to spin wait. For Halt-on-reset they
can jump to entry point directly.

Also while at it, made reset vector handler as "the" entry point for
kernel including host debugger based boot (which uses the ELF header
entry point)

Vineet Gupta 9fabcc636b ARC: [arcompact] entry.S: Elide extra check/branch in exception ret path
This is done by improving the laddering logic !

Before:

   if Exception
      goto excep_or_pure_k_ret

   if !Interrupt(L2)
      goto l1_chk
   else
      INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE 2

 l1_chk:
   if !Interrupt(L1)  (i.e. pure kernel mode)
      goto excep_or_pure_k_ret
   else
      INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE 1

 excep_or_pure_k_ret:
   EXCEPTION_EPILOGUE

Now:

   if !Interrupt(L1 or L2) (i.e. exception or pure kernel mode)
      goto excep_or_pure_k_ret

  ; guaranteed to be an interrupt
   if !Interrupt(L2)
      goto l1_ret
   else
      INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE 2

 ; by virtue of above, no need to chk for L1 active
 l1_ret:
    INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE 1

 excep_or_pure_k_ret:
    EXCEPTION_EPILOGUE

Vineet Gupta c80417b612 ARC: entry.S: use single EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE
Returning from pure kernel mode and exception mode use the same code
anyways. Remove one the duplicate blocks
