MIPS; KVM: Convert exception entry to uasm
Convert the whole of locore.S (assembly to enter guest and handle
exception entry) to be generated dynamically with uasm. This is done
with minimal changes to the resulting code.
The main changes are:
- Some constants are generated by uasm using LUI+ADDIU instead of
LUI+ORI.
- Loading of lo and hi are swapped around in vcpu_run but not when
resuming the guest after an exit. Both bits of logic are now generated
by the same code.
- Register MOVEs in uasm use different ADDU operand ordering to GNU as,
putting zero register into rs instead of rt.
- The JALR.HB to call the C exit handler is switched to JALR, since the
hazard barrier would appear to be unnecessary.
This will allow further optimisation in the future to dynamically handle
the capabilities of the CPU.
