Haavard Skinnemoen c0c3e81608 [AVR32] Optimize the TLB miss handler
Reorder some instructions and change the register usage to reduce
the number of pipeline stalls. Also use the bfextu and bfins
instructions for bitfield manipulations instead of shifting and
masking.

This makes gzipping a 80MB file approximately 2% faster.

Haavard Skinnemoen 92b728c147 [AVR32] Fix NMI handler
Fix a problem with the NMI handler entry code related to the NMI handler
sharing some code with the exception handlers. This is not a good idea
because the RSR and RAR registers are not the same, and the NMI handler
runs with interrupts masked the whole time so there's no need to check
for pending work.

Open-code the low-level NMI handling logic instead so that the pt_regs
layout is actually correct when the higher-level handler is called.

Hans-Christian Egtvedt 19b7ce8bad [AVR32] Put cpu in sleep 0 when idle.
This patch puts the CPU in sleep 0 when doing nothing, idle. This will
turn of the CPU clock and thus save power. The CPU is waken again when
an interrupt occurs.

Haavard Skinnemoen 5f97f7f940 [PATCH] avr32 architecture
This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density.  The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture.  It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit.  It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.

Full data sheet is available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf

while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf

Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918

including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.

Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.

This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
