asm/asm.h provides PREF(), PREFE() & PREFX() macros which are now
entirely unused. Delete the dead code.

asm/asm.h provides a CAT macro which is unused throughout the tree, and
if anyone wanted it the generic CONCATENATE macro in linux/kernel.h
provides the same functionality. Delete the dead code.

asm/asm.h contains a TTABLE macro to generate "text tables" which would
appear to be arrays of pointers to strings. It is unused throughout the
kernel tree, so delete the dead code.

asm/asm.h contains CPRESTORE, CPADD & CPLOAD macros that are intended
for use with position independent code, but are not used anywhere in the
kernel - along with a comment to that effect. Remove the dead code.

We have macros in asm/asm.h to allow for use of the MOVN & MOVZ
instructions with compare-and-branch sequences providing compatibility
for ISA versions which don't include those instructions. However the
macros are unused, and appear to have always been unused. Delete the
dead code.

This will allow kdump dumps to work correclty with MIPS and
future DWARF unwinding of the stack to give accurate tracebacks.

When building a kernel targeting a microMIPS ISA, recent GNU linkers
will fail the link if they cannot determine that the target of a branch
or jump is microMIPS code, with errors such as the following:
mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .text+0x542c:
Unsupported jump between ISA modes; consider recompiling with
interlinking enabled.
mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value
or:
./arch/mips/include/asm/uaccess.h:1017: warning: JALX to a
non-word-aligned address
Placing anything other than an instruction at the start of a function
written in assembly appears to trigger such errors. In order to prepare
for allowing us to follow function prologue macros with an EXPORT_SYMBOL
invocation, end the prologue macros (LEAD, NESTED & FEXPORT) with a
.insn directive. This ensures that the start of the function is marked
as code, which always makes sense for functions & safely prevents us
from hitting the link errors described above.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension
during a kernel build. Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.
This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

EVA uses specific instructions for accessing user memory.
Instead of polluting the kernel with numerous #ifdef CONFIG_EVA
we add wrappers for all the instructions that need special
handling when EVA is enabled.

EVA can use the PREFE instruction to perform the virtual address
translation using the user mapping of the address rather than the
kernel mapping.

Optimise 'memset' to use microMIPS instructions and/or optimisations
for binary size reduction. When the microMIPS ISA is not being used,
the library function compiles to the original binary code.

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.
