The previous NR_CPUS=2 default is not an optimal default for current
Malta setups where it is common to have more than 2 CPUs available. It
makes sense to increase this to a number which covers all common setups
currently in use, such that all of those cores are usable. 8 seems to
fit that description.
If the user has less than 8 CPUs & they wish to have a more optimal
kernel they can simply reduce this in their config. It makes sense for
the default to work on as many systems as possible.

For Malta defconfigs which may run on an SMP configuration without
hardware cache anti-aliasing, a 16KB page size is a safer default.
Most notably at the moment it will avoid cache aliasing issues for
multicore proAptiv systems.

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 Malta configs as well.

This patch simply regenerates the malta defconfigs such that they don't
change after being used & saved as a defconfig again. ie. it is the
result of running the following:
for cfg in arch/mips/configs/malta*; do
ARCH=mips make `basename ${cfg}`
ARCH=mips make savedefconfig
mv -v defconfig ${cfg}
done

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

While most users of a physical Malta board are using the serial port
as the console, a lot of QEMU users would prefer to interact with a
graphical console. Enable the Cirrus FB support in the Malta default
configuration to make that possible. Note that the default console will
still be the serial port, users have to pass "console=tty0" to the
kernel to use the Cirrus FB.

Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters
hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore,
using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the
command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and
the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless.
This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible
scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is
currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line
arguments override the hardcoded ones.
[Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this
change.]

The Qemu platform was originally implemented to have an easily supportable
platform until Qemu reaches a state where it emulates a real world system.
Since the latest release Qemu is capable of emulating the MIPSsim and
Malta platforms, so this goal has been reached. The Qemu plaform is also
rather underfeatured so less useful than a Malta emulation.

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.

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!
