On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the
kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set
cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in
asm/futex.h).
We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that
lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex
code to use it.
Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc
unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.

Some CPUs have implementation dependent rdhwr registers. Allow them
to be enabled on a per CPU basis.

Some CPUs do not need ehb instructions after writing CP0 registers.
By allowing ehb generation to be overridden in
cpu-feature-overrides.h, we can save a few instructions in the TLB
handler hot paths.

This is useful for IDT RC32332, RC32334 and NEC VR5500 processors which do
not implement the full MIPS32 / MIPS64 architecture.

Follow precedent of other boards, and hook-up the CPU specific cache
init.

cpu_has_mips_r is true if a processor is MIPS32 or MIPS64, any architecture
revision.
