The new UEFI-like firmware interface (LEFI, i.e. Loongson Unified
Firmware Interface) has 3 advantages:
1, Firmware export a physical memory map which is similar to X86's
E820 map, so prom_init_memory() will be more elegant that #ifdef
clauses can be removed.
2, Firmware export a pci irq routing table, we no longer need pci
irq routing fixup in kernel's code.
3, Firmware has a built-in vga bios, and its address is exported,
the linux kernel no longer need an embedded blob.
With the LEFI interface, Loongson-3A/2G and all their successors can use
a unified kernel. All Loongson-based machines support this new interface
except 2E/2F series.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

The check used to determine if uncached accelerated should be used or not
is wrong. The parenthesis are misplaced and making the test fail.

This patch adds two new kernel options: CPU_SUPPORTS_CPUFREQ and
CPU_SUPPORTS_ADDRWINCFG to describe the new features of Loongons 2F and
replaces the several ugly #if clauses by them.
These two options will be utilized by the future loongson revisions and
related drivers such as the coming Loongson 2F CPUFreq driver.

Loongson 2F has built-in DDR2 and PCI-X controller. The PCI-X controller
has a programming interface similiar to the the FPGA northbridge used on
Loongson 2E.
The main differences between Loongson 2E and Loongson 2F include:
1. Loongson 2F has an extra address window configuration module, which
is used to map CPU address space to DDR or PCI address space, or map
the PCI-DMA address space to DDR or LIO address space.
2. Loongson 2F supports 8 levels of software configurable CPu frequency
which can be configured in the LOONGSON_CHIPCFG0 register. The coming
cpufreq and standby support are based on this feature.
Loongson.h abstracts the modules and corresponding methods are abstracted.
Add other Loongson-2F-specific source code including gcc 4.4 support, PCI
memory space, PCI IO space, DMA address.

While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.
This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.
Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

To share common loongson source code between all of the loongson-based
machines. there is a need to split it out of the fuloong-2e/ directory.
at the same time, other according tuning is needed. the machine-specific
parts are defined as macros in relative header file, pci.h, mem.h,
machine.h.
