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 interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
and optional floating point unit.

For MIPS32R3 supported cores, the EHINV bit needs to be set when
invalidating the TLB. This is necessary because the legacy software
method of representing an invalid TLB entry using an unmapped address
value is not guaranteed to work.

Commit 225ae5fd9a
"MIPS: Malta: Fix interupt number of CBUS UART"
fixed the IRQ number for the ttyS2 CBUS UART. However, this now
conflicts with the GIC IPI1 interrupt in CMP platforms. The Malta
interrupt code arbitrarily binds IPIs to INT2 and INT3 and since
ttyS2 uses the INT2 IRQ line, closing the device disables the
INT2 interrupt and this effectively disables the IPI1 interrupt
as well. This patch is mainly a workaround until the Malta code
is fixed properly.

If GIC is present, then use it to send IPIs between the cores.
Using GIC for IPIs is simpler and is usable for multicore
systems compared to the existing way of doing IPIs where all VPEs
had to be disabled for another VPE to access the Cause register
in one of the TCs and enable all the VPEs back.

According to Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt, the cpu_present_mask should
contain all the CPUs which are present in the system. Therefore, all the TCs
currently present in the system should be marked as 'present' even if they
will never be brought online.
