Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian
(byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support:

- setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and
  user threads
- big-endian page table walking
- REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault
  processing as they are still little-endian format
- Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed
  to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to
  little-endian

The CLPS7500 platform has not built since 2.6.22-git7 and there
seems to be no interest in fixing it.  So, remove the platform
support.

Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER.  The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.

This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

This allows assembly files to be crafted to cover all ARM CPU types
rather than erroring out on instructions only in later CPUs.  We
are careful in these files to only execute CPU specific code when
the CPU ID says we can.

AT91RM9200 needlessly verifies machine-type numbers of
supported / known platforms and overwrites it for unknown
ones. Remove it.

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.

This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.

One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.

Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k

Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

This is to avoid a compiler warning for overriding the built-in "putc"
function.

font_acorn_8x8.o was being built in drivers/video/console/ twice
during a build _in the same location_ - once for the kernel proper,
and once for the decompressor.  The result is when you came to run an
install target, the kernel was always rebuilt due to this file
apparantly having been built with different compiler arguments.

Solve this by making a local copy at build time in the decompressor's
directory.
