Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

Because only gcc >=4.4 have loongson-specific support, we need to choose
the suitable -march argument for gcc <= 4.3 and gcc >= 4.4, and here, we
use -march=loongson2e for loongson2e.

Thanks goes to Arnaud Patard <apatard@mandriva.com> for suggestion of
using cc-options(Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt). and thanks Zhang
Le for introducing the new CPU_LOONGSON2E kernel option.

NOTE: -mtune option is not need if -march and -mtune use the same value.

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.

To make source code of loongson sharable to the machines(such as gdium)
made by the other companies, we rename arch/mips/lemote to
arch/mips/loongson, asm/mach-lemote to asm/mach-loongson, and rename lm2e
to the name of the machine: fuloong-2e. accordingly, FULONG are renamed to
FULOONG2E to make it distinguishable to the future FULOONG2F.  and also,
some other relative tuning is needed.

[Ralf: SMP support requires CPU hotplugging which MIPS currently doesn't
support.  As implemented in this patch cache and tlb flushing will also be
invoked with interrupts disabled so smp_call_function() will blow up in
charming ways.  So limit to !SMP.]

The current in-kernel Alchemy GPIO support is far too inflexible for
all my use cases.  To address this, the following changes are made:

* create generic functions which deal with manipulating the on-chip
  GPIO1/2 blocks.  Such functions are universally useful.
* Macros for GPIO2 shared interrupt management and block control.
* support for both built-in CONFIG_GPIOLIB and fast, inlined GPIO macros.

  If CONFIG_GPIOLIB is not enabled, provide linux gpio framework
  compatibility by directly inlining the GPIO1/2 functions.  GPIO access
  is limited to on-chip ones and they can be accessed as documented in
  the datasheets (GPIO0-31 and 200-215).

  If CONFIG_GPIOLIB is selected, two (2) gpio_chip-s, one for GPIO1 and
  one for GPIO2, are registered.  GPIOs can still be accessed by using
  the numberspace established in the databooks.

  However this is not yet flexible enough for my uses:  My Alchemy
  systems have a documented "external" gpio interface (fixed, different
  numberspace) and can support a variety of baseboards, some of which
  are equipped with I2C gpio expanders.  I want to be able to provide
  the default 16 GPIOs of the CPU board numbered as 0..15 and also
  support gpio expanders, if present, starting as gpio16.

  To achieve this, a new Kconfig symbol for Alchemy is introduced,
  CONFIG_ALCHEMY_GPIO_INDIRECT, which boards can enable to signal
  that they don't want the Alchemy numberspace exposed to the outside
  world, but instead want to provide their own.  Boards are now respon-
  sible for providing the linux gpio interface glue code (either in a
  custom gpio.h header (in board include directory) or with gpio_chips).

  To make the board-specific inlined gpio functions work, the MIPS
  Makefile must be changed so that the mach-au1x00/gpio.h header is
  included _after_ the board headers, by moving the inclusion of
  the mach-au1x00/ to the end of the header list.

  See arch/mips/include/asm/mach-au1x00/gpio.h for more info.
