Remove an outdated reference to "most personal computers" having only one
CPU, and change the use of "singleprocessor" and "single processor" in
CONFIG_SMP's documentation to "uniprocessor" across all arches where that
documentation is present.

This patch switches Malta from using the MIPS implementation of early
printk with Malta's prom_putchar to using the generic 8250_early
implementation. This offers a couple of advantages:
- We duplicate less generic code.
- The UART can be initialised rather than being reliant upon
inheriting a valid setup from the bootloader.
The Malta console_config function is extended to initialise the early
console if no earlycon= kernel parameter is provided, inheriting the
modetty0 bootloader environment if present and falling back to a
default 38400n8r setup if not. This matches the behaviour used for the
regular console= parameter.

Only one MIPS development board actually supports enabling/disabling DMA
coherency at runtime, so it's not a good idea to push the overhead of
checking that configuration setting onto every other supported target as
well.

This patch accomplishes the following:
* Clean up wording on all MIPS MT configuration menu items.
* Simplify and neaten up options selected by MIPS_MT_SMP.
* Make MIPS_MT_SMTC support as deprecated.
* Make MIPS_CMP support to depend on MIPS_MT_SMP also.
* Remove redundant options selected by MIPS_CMP.

The BCM47xx SoCs have a 8250 serial compatible console at address
0x18000300 and an other at 0x18000400. On most devices 0x18000300 is
wired to some pins on the board, we should use that.
This is the smae for the AI (bcma) and the SB (ssb) bus, this is some
offset on the chip common core.

Codewise there is no difference between these two, so it does not make
sense to treat them differently. Also chip families having one of these
tend to have the other.

Instead of treating each flavour as an exclusive CPU to select, make
BMIPS the only option and let SYS_HAS_CPU_BMIPS* decide for which
flavours to include support.
Run tested on BMIPS3300 and BMIPS4350, only build tested for BMIPS4380
and BMIPS5000.

Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6240/
CPUs implementing MIPS32 R2 may include a 64-bit FPU, just as MIPS64 CPUs
do. In order to preserve backwards compatibility a 64-bit FPU will act
like a 32-bit FPU (by accessing doubles from the least significant 32
bits of an even-odd pair of FP registers) when the Status.FR bit is
zero, again just like a mips64 CPU. The standard O32 ABI is defined
expecting a 32-bit FPU, however recent toolchains support use of a
64-bit FPU from an O32 MIPS32 executable. When an ELF executable is
built to use a 64-bit FPU a new flag (EF_MIPS_FP64) is set in the ELF
header.
With this patch the kernel will check the EF_MIPS_FP64 flag when
executing an O32 binary, and set Status.FR accordingly. The addition
of O32 64-bit FP support lessens the opportunity for optimisation in
the FPU emulator, so a CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option is
introduced to allow this support to be disabled for those that don't
require it.
Inspired by an earlier patch by Leonid Yegoshin, but implemented more
cleanly & correctly.
