  • This patch adds trivial support for SMARTMIPS extension. This extension
    is currently implemented by 4KS[CD] CPUs.

    Basically it saves/restores ACX register, which is part of the SMARTMIPS
    ASE, when needed. This patch does *not* add any support for Smartmips MMU
    features.

    Futhermore this patch does not add explicit support for 4KS[CD] CPUs since
    they are respectively mips32 and mips32r2 compliant. So with the current
    processor configuration, a platform that has such CPUs needs to select
    both configs:

    CPU_HAS_SMARTMIPS
    SYS_HAS_CPU_MIPS32_R[12]

    This is due to the processor configuration which is mixing up all the
    architecture variants and the processor types.

    The drawback of this, is that we currently pass '-march=mips32' option to
    gcc when building a kernel instead of '-march=4ksc' for 4KSC case. This
    can lead to a kernel image a little bit bigger than required.

  • The stack pointer in MIPS/gcc should always 8 bytes aligned on
    entry to any routines. Therefore pt_regs structure must be
    aligned to 8-byte boundary too.

    Instead of creating dummy fields to achieve this alignment, this
    patch let gcc doing it. Therefore 'smtc_pad' field can be safely
    removed.

  • 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!
