Early access to the kernel command line requires early access to the FDT
for platforms which pass the command line within the device tree. There
was no common way to retrieve the location of the FDT without incurring
side effects, such as plat_mem_setup which, on Malta at least,
initializes a bunch of other stuff.
This patch adds plat_get_ftd() for IMG platforms.

Move memory configuration to be performed via device tree for the Malta
board. This moves more Malta specific code to malta-dtshim.c, leaving
the rest of the mti-malta code a little more board-agnostic. This will
be useful to share more code between boards, with the device tree
providing the board specifics as intended.
Since we can't rely upon Malta boards running a bootloader capable of
handling devictrees & filling in the required information, a piece of
shim code (malta_dt_shim) is added to consume the (e)memsize variables
provided as part of the bootloader environment (or on the kernel command
line) then generate the DT memory node using the provided values.

Build a DT for the Malta platform into the kernel, load it & probe
devices from it. The DT is essentially empty at this point, devices
will be added in further patches.

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

The Malta board aliases 0x80000000 - 0xffffffff to 0x00000000
- 0x7fffffff ignoring the 256 MB IO hole in 0x10000000.
The physical memory is shifted to 0x80000000 so up to 2GB
can be used. Kuseg is expanded to 3GB (due to board limitations
only 2GB can be accessed) and lowmem (kernel space) is expanded to 2GB.
The Segment Control registers are programmed as follows:
Virtual memory Physical memory Mapping
0x00000000 - 0x7fffffff 0x80000000 - 0xfffffffff MUSUK (kuseg)
0x80000000 - 0x9fffffff 0x00000000 - 0x1ffffffff MUSUK (kseg0)
0xa0000000 - 0xbf000000 0x00000000 - 0x1ffffffff MUSUK (kseg1)
0xc0000000 - 0xdfffffff - MK (kseg2)
0xe0000000 - 0xffffffff - MK (kseg3)
The location of exception vectors remain the same since 0xbfc00000
(traditional exception base) still maps to 0x1fc00000 physical.

Some MIPS controllers have hardware I/O coherency. This patch
detects those and turns off software coherency. A new kernel
command line option also allows the user to manually turn
software coherency on or off.

As long as there is no other non-const variable marked __initdata in the
same compilation unit it doesn't hurt. If there were one however
compilation would fail with
error: $variablename causes a section type conflict
because a section containing const variables is marked read only and so
cannot contain non-const variables.

This patch explicitly removes the kgdb implementation, for mips which
is intended to be followed by a patch that adds a kgdb implementation
for MIPS that makes use of the kgdb core in the kernel.
