Provide correct siginfo_t.si_stime on MIPS64
Bug description:
MIPS version of copy_siginfo() is not aware of alignment on platforms with
64-bit long integers, which leads to an incorrect si_stime passed to signal
handlers, because the last element (si_stime) of _sifields._sigchld is not
copied. If _MIPS_SZLONG is 64, then the _sifields starts at the offset of
4 * sizeof(int).
Patch description:
Use the generic copy_siginfo, which doesn't have this problem.

The previous implementation did not cover all possible FPU combinations
and it silently allowed ABI incompatible objects to be loaded with the
wrong ABI. For example, the previous logic would set the FP_64 ABI as
the matching ABI for an FP_XX object combined with an FP_64A object.
This was wrong, and the matching ABI should have been FP_64A.
The previous logic is now replaced with a new one which determines
the appropriate FPU mode to be used rather than the FP ABI. This has
the advantage that the entire logic is much simpler since it is the FPU
mode we are interested in rather than the FP ABI resulting to code
simplifications. This also removes the now obsolete FP32XX_HYBRID_FPRS
option.

MIPS R2 FPU instructions are also present in MIPS R6 so amend the
preprocessor definitions to take MIPS R6 into consideration.

The ERETNC instruction, introduced in MIPS R5, is similar to the ERET
one, except it does not clear the LLB bit in the LLADDR register.
This feature is necessary to safely emulate R2 LL/SC instructions.
However, on context switches, we need to clear the LLAddr/LLB bit
in order to make sure that an SC instruction from the new thread
will never succeed if it happens to interrupt an LL operation on the
same address from the previous thread.

MIPS R6 removed quite a few R2 instructions. However, there
is plenty of <R6 userland code so we add an in-kernel emulator
so we can still be able to execute all R2 userland out there.
The emulator comes with a handy debugfs under /mips/ directory
(r2-emul-stats) to provide some basic statistics of the
instructions that are being emulated.
Below are some statistics from booting a minimal buildroot image:

If Config5/LLB is set in the core, then software can write the LLB
bit in the LLADDR register.

The LLBIT (bit 4) in the Config5 CP0 register indicates the software
availability of the Load-Linked bit. This bit is only set by hardware
and it has the following meaning:
0: LLB functionality is not supported
1: LLB functionality is supported. The following feature are also
supported:
- ERETNC instruction. Similar to ERET but it does not clear the LLB
bit in the LLAddr register.
- CP0 LLAddr/LLB bit must be set
- LLbit is software accessible through the LLAddr[0]
This will be used later on to emulate R2 LL/SC instructions.

MIPS R6 introduced the following two branch instructions for COP1:
BC1EQZ: Branch if Cop1 (FPR) Register Bit 0 is Equal to Zero
BC1NEZ: Branch if Cop1 (FPR) Register Bit 0 is Not Equal to Zero

The MIPS R6 JR instruction is an alias to the JALR one, so it may
need emulation for non-R6 userlands.

Add the MIPS R6 related preprocessor definitions for save/restore
FPU related functions. We also set the appropriate ISA level
so the final return instruction "jr ra" will produce the correct
opcode on R6.

"sub $reg, imm" is not a real MIPS instruction. The assembler can
replace that with "addi $reg, -imm". However, addi has been removed
from R6, so we replace the "sub" instruction with the "addiu" one.
