We are going to split <linux/sched/debug.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/debug.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

With generic "identity" num of CPUs is limited to 256 (8 bit).
We use our alternative AUX register GLOBAL_ID (12 bit).
Now we can support up to 4096 CPUs.

SYNC in __switch_to() is a historic relic and not needed at all.
- In UP context it is obviously useless, why would we want to stall
the core for all updates to stack memory of t0 to complete before
loading kernel mode callee registers from t1 stack's memory.
- In SMP, there could be potential race in which outgoing task could
be concurrently picked for running on a different core, thus writes
to stack here need to be visible before the reads from stack on
other core. Peter confirmed that generic schedular already has needed
barriers (by way of rq lock) so there is no need for additional arch
barrier.
This came up when Noam was trying to replace this SYNC with EZChip
specific hardware thread scheduling instruction for their platform
support.

ST.as only takes S9 (255) for offset. This was going out of range when
accessing a task_struct field with 4k NR_CPUS (due to 128b of coumaks
itself in there).
Workaround by using an intermediate register to do the address scaling.
There is some duplication of fix for ctx_sw.c and ctx_sw_asm.S however
given that C version will go away soon I'm not bothering to factor out
the common code.

This is trickier than prev two:
* context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of
struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height
of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word.
* Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel
stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too.
ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from
user_regs_struct.

ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions.
ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are
are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This
includes:
-Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI)
-Cache coherency
-load-locked/store-conditional
...
The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP
because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit
of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler
prologues to keep them re-entrant.
Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to
SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help
with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012).
Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so
multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is
addressed in subsequent patches within this series.
