include:
- Syscall tables & definitions for unistd.h are now generated by
scripts, providing greater consistency with other architectures &
making it easier to add new syscalls.
- Support for building kernels with no floating point support, upon
which any userland attempting to use floating point instructions will
receive a SIGILL. Mostly useful to shrink the kernel & as preparation
for nanoMIPS support which does not yet include FP.
- MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) vector register context is now exposed
by ptrace via a new NT_MIPS_MSA regset.
- ASIDs are now stored as 64b values even for MIPS32 kernels, expanding
the ASID version field sufficiently that we don't need to worry about
overflow & avoiding rare issues with reused ASIDs that have been
observed in the wild.
- The branch delay slot "emulation" page is now mapped without write
permission for the user, preventing its use as a nice location for
attacks to execute malicious code from.
- Support for ioremap_prot(), primarily to allow gdb or other
ptrace users the ability to view their tracee's memory using the same
cache coherency attribute.
- Optimizations to more cpu_has_* macros, allowing more to be
compile-time constant where possible.
- Enable building the whole kernel with UBSAN instrumentation.
- Enable building the kernel with link-time dead code & data
elimination.
Platform specific changes include:
- The Boston board gains a workaround for DMA prefetching issues with
the EG20T Platform Controller Hub that it uses.
- Cleanups to Cavium Octeon code removing about 20k lines of redundant
code, mostly unused or duplicate register definitions in headers.
- defconfig updates for the DECstation machines, including new
defconfigs for r4k & 64b machines.
- Further work on Loongson 3 support.
- DMA fixes for SiByte machines.

are still missing; enable those to get them included in kernel builds.

Re-enable OCTEON USB driver which is needed on older hardware
(e.g. EdgeRouter Lite) for mass storage etc. This got accidentally
deleted when config options were changed for OCTEON2/3 USB.

Recent versions of udev and systemd require the kernel to be compiled
with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS in order to populate the /dev directory. Most MIPS
platforms have it enabled by default, so enable it for the Cavium Octeon
defconfig as well. This will assist with automated kernel boot testing.

The driver hasn't been cleaned up and it doesn't look like anyone is
working on it anymore (including the original author). So remove it.
If someone wants to work on cleaning the driver up and moving it out of
staging, this commit can be reverted.
In addition, since this removes the CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_SILICOM config
symbol, remove the symbol from all defconfig files that reference it.
