<title>ARCv2: Support IO Coherency and permutations involving L1 and L2 caches</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f2b0b25a37a6db12580dcdfdf00f020e5e0e3a43</id>
<content type='text'>
In case of ARCv2 CPU there're could be following configurations
that affect cache handling for data exchanged with peripherals
via DMA:
 [1] Only L1 cache exists
 [2] Both L1 and L2 exist, but no IO coherency unit
 [3] L1, L2 caches and IO coherency unit exist

Current implementation takes care of [1] and [2].
Moreover support of [2] is implemented with run-time check
for SLC existence which is not super optimal.

This patch introduces support of [3] and rework of DMA ops
usage. Instead of doing run-time check every time a particular
DMA op is executed we'll have 3 different implementations of
DMA ops and select appropriate one during init.

As for IOC support for it we need:
 [a] Implement empty DMA ops because IOC takes care of cache
     coherency with DMAed data
 [b] Route dma_alloc_coherent() via dma_alloc_noncoherent()
     This is required to make IOC work in first place and also
     serves as optimization as LD/ST to coherent buffers can be
     srviced from caches w/o going all the way to memory

alloc_pages_exact() get gfp flags and handle zero'ing already

And while it, fix the case where ioremap fails: return rightaway.

<title>ARCv2: guard SLC DMA ops with spinlock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b607eddd7122595bbcf49c00192faf3e49b142d3</id>
<content type='text'>
SLC maintenance ops need to be serialized by software as there is no
inherent buffering / quequing of aux commands. It can silently ignore a
new aux operation if previous one is still ongoing (SLC_CTRL_BUSY)

So gaurd the SLC op using a spin lock

The spin lock doesn't seem to be contended even in heavy workloads such
as iperf. On FPGA @ 75 MHz.

Pull ARC architecture updates from Vineet Gupta:

 - support for HS38 cores based on ARCv2 ISA

     ARCv2 is the next generation ISA from Synopsys and basis for the
     HS3{4,6,8} families of processors which retain the traditional ARC mantra of
     low power and configurability and are now more performant and feature rich.

     HS38x is a 10 stage pipeline core which supports MMU (with huge pages) and
     SMP (upto 4 cores) among other features.

 - support for ARC SDP (Software Development platform): Main Board + CPU Cards
    = AXS101: CPU Card with ARC700 in silicon @ 700 MHz
    = AXS103: CPU Card with HS38x in FPGA

 - refactoring of ARCompact port to accomodate new ARCv2 ISA

 - misc updates/cleanups

L2 cache on ARCHS processors is called SLC (System Level Cache)
For working DMA (in absence of hardware assisted IO Coherency) we need
to manage SLC explicitly when buffers transition between cpu and
controllers.
