Fold the SB-1 specific implementation of clear_page/copy_page in the
generic version, and rewrite that one in tlbex style. The immediate
benefits:
- It converts the compile-time workaround for SB-1 pass 1 prefetches
to a more efficient run-time check.
- It allows adjustment of loop unfolling, which helps to reduce the
number of redundant cdex cache ops.
- It fixes some esoteric cornercases (the cache line length calculations
can go wrong, and support for 64k pages without prefetch instructions
will overflow the addiu immediate).
- Somewhat better guesses of "good" prefetch values.

This patch moves the micro-assembler in a separate implementation, as
it is useful for further run-time optimizations. The only change in
behaviour is cutting down printk noise at kernel startup time.
Checkpatch complains about macro parameters which aren't protected by
parentheses. I believe this is a flaw in checkpatch, the paste operator
used in those macros won't work with parenthesised parameters.

It may not be perfect yet but the SB1 code is badly borken and has
horrible performance issues.
Downside: This seriously breaks support for pass 1 parts of the BCM1250
where indexed cacheops don't work quite reliable but I seem to be the
last one on the planet with a pass 1 part anyway.

Many Makefiles in arch/mips have EXTRA_AFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) line. This
is redundant while AFLAGS contains $(cflags-y) and any options only
listed in CFLAGS (not in cflags-y) should be unnecessary for asm
sources.

Platforms will now have to supply a function dma_device_is_coherent which
returns if a particular device participates in the coherence domain. For
most platforms this function will always return 0 or 1.

Basically identical to c-r4k.c, so maintaining one is really enough.

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!
