The userspace runtime linker uses the elf_platform to find the libraries
optimized for the current CPU archecture variant. First we need to allow it
to be set to something other than NULL. Follow-on patches will set some
values for specific CPUs.
GLIBC already does the right thing. The kernel just needs to supply good
data.

Eliminate the 'allow_au1k_wait' variable. MIPS kernel installs the
Alchemy-specific wait code before timer initialization; if the C0
timer must be used for timekeeping the wait function is set to NULL
which means no wait implementation is available.
As a sideeffect, the 'wait instruction available' output in
/proc/cpuinfo now correctly indicates whether 'wait' is usable.
Run-tested on DB1200.

Some of the were relying into smp.h being dragged in by another header
which of course is fragile. <asm/cpu-info.h> uses smp_processor_id()
only in macros and including smp.h there leads to an include loop, so
don't change cpu-info.h.

This patch removes the various CPU_AU1??? model constants in favor of
a single CPU_ALCHEMY one.
All currently existing Alchemy models are identical in terms of cpu
core and cache size/organization. The parts of the mips kernel which
need to know the exact CPU revision extract it from the c0_prid register
already; and finally nothing else in-tree depends on those any more.
Should a new variant with slightly different "company options" and/or
"processor revision" bits in c0_prid appear, it will be supported
immediately (minus an exact model string in cpuinfo).

Current VR5500 processor support lacks of some functions which are
expected to be configured/synthesized on arch initialization.
Here're some VR5500A spec notes:
* All execution hazards are handled in hardware.
* Once VR5500A stops the operation of the pipeline by WAIT instruction,
it could return from the standby mode only when either a reset, NMI
request, or all enabled interrupts is/are detected. In other words,
if interrupts are disabled by Status.IE=0, it keeps in standby mode
even when interrupts are internally asserted.
Notes on WAIT: The operation of the processor is undefined if WAIT
insn is in the branch delay slot. The operation is also undefined
if WAIT insn is executed when Status.EXL and Status.ERL are set to 1.
* VR5500A core only implements the Load prefetch.
With these changes, it boots fine.

Add support for the 32 kHz counter1 (RTC) as clocksource / clockevent
device. As a nice side effect, this also enables use of the 'wait'
instruction for runtime idle power savings.
If the counters aren't enabled/working properly, fall back on the
cp0 counter clock code.

As noticed by David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>, the old long switch
statement did not comply with the Linux C coding style. It was also yet
another place of code to be changed when adding a new processor type
leading to annoying bugs for example in /proc/cpuinfo.
Fixed by moving the setting of the CPU type string into the core of the
probing code and a few BUG_ON() test to ensure the CPU probing code indeed
did its job and removing multiple now redundant tests.

Rework of SMTC support to make it work with the new clock event system,
allowing "tickless" operation, and to make it compatible with the use of
the "wait_irqoff" idle loop. The new clocking scheme means that the
previously optional IPI instant replay mechanism is now required, and has
been made more robust.
