Convert the MIPS SEAD-3 board support to be a generic board, supported
by generic kernels.
Because the SEAD-3 boot protocol was defined long ago and we don't want
to force a switch to the UHI protocol, SEAD-3 is added as a legacy board
which is detected by reading the REVISION register. This may technically
not be a valid memory read & future work will include attempting to
handle that gracefully. In practice since SEAD-3 is the only legacy
board supported by the generic kernel so far the read will only happen
on SEAD-3 boards, and even once Malta is converted the same REVISION
register exists there too. Other boards such as Boston, Ci20 & Ci40 will
use the UHI boot protocol & thus not run any of the legacy board detect
functions.

Stop selecting SYS_HAS_EARLY_PRINTK & remove the custom support for
early output to the ns16550a UARTs, instead relying upon generic
ns16550a earlycon support. This reduces the amount of platform code
required for SEAD3 without losing any functionality.

Probe the UARTs on SEAD3 boards using device tree rather than platform
code, in order to reduce the amount of the latter. This requires that
CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM be enabled, so enable it in sead3_defconfig.
The SEAD3 DT shim code is extended to read bootloader environment
variables to determine the appropriate UART & mode for kernel console
output & set the stdout-path property of the chosen node accordingly.
In contrast to the old platform code, which appears to have only ever
set "console=ttyS0,38400n8r" with the code in console_config never
having an effect, this will honor the "yamontty" environment variable to
select between the 2 UARTs on the board and then check the "modetty0" or
"modetty1" variable as appropriate to determine the UART configuration.

On OCTEON the function is non-trivial and we can potentially even save
some memory.

All exceptions must be taken in microMIPS mode, never in classic
MIPS mode or the kernel falls apart. A few NOP instructions are
used to maintain the correct alignment of microMIPS versions of
the exception vectors.

Remove 'arch/mips/include/asm/mips-boards/prom.h' and get rid of
all inclusions of it by Malta and SEAD-3 platforms.

More information about the SEAD-3 platform can be found at
<http://www.mips.com/products/development-kits/mips-sead-3/>
on MTI's site. Currently, the M14K family of cores is what
the SEAD-3 is utilised with.
