The affinity between ARM processors is defined in the MPIDR register.
We can identify which processors are in the same cluster,
and which ones have performance interdependency. We can define the
cpu topology of ARM platform, that is then used by sched_mc and sched_smt.
The default state of sched_mc and sched_smt config is disable.
When enabled, the behavior of the scheduler can be modified with
sched_mc_power_savings and sched_smt_power_savings sysfs interfaces.

Given that we want the default to not have any <mach/memory.h> and given
that there are now fewer cases where it is still provided than the cases
where it is not at this point, this makes sense to invert the logic and
just identify the exception cases.
The word "need" instead of "have" was chosen to construct the config
symbol so not to suggest that having a mach/memory.h file is actually
a feature that one should aim for.

This also removes the mach/s3c2400 version which was probably never used
due to the fact that we have this line in arch/arm/Makefile:
machine-$(CONFIG_ARCH_S3C2410) := s3c2410 s3c2400 [...]
This is later used to construct the search path for:
The compiler would be looking into mach-s3c2410 and picking up this
version first. Any config that was actually expecting the mach-s3c2400
version was therefore producing a broken kernel binary. Not relying on
any of them anymore would fix that issue.

When the CONFIG_NO_MACH_MEMORY_H symbol is selected by a particular
machine class, the machine specific memory.h include file is no longer
used and can be removed. In that case the equivalent information can
be obtained dynamically at runtime by enabling CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT
or by specifying the physical memory address at kernel configuration time.
If/when all instances of mach/memory.h are removed then this symbol could
be removed.

Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a device tree capable one,
yet they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
the kernel cmdline string, etc. To allow a device tree enabled
kernel to be used with such bootloaders, it is necessary to convert those
ATAGs into FDT properties and fold them into the DTB appended to zImage.
Currently the following ATAGs are converted:
ATAG_CMDLINE
ATAG_MEM
ATAG_INITRD2
If the corresponding information already exists in the appended DTB, it
is replaced, otherwise the required node is created to hold it.
The code looks for ATAGs at the location pointed by the value of r2 upon
entry into the zImage code. If no ATAGs are found there, an attempt at
finding ATAGs at the typical 0x100 offset from start of RAM is made.
Otherwise the DTB is left unchanged.

This patch provides the ability to boot using a device tree that is appended
to the raw binary zImage (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).

This patch is a workaround for the 364296 ARM1136 r0p2 erratum (possible
cache data corruption with hit-under-miss enabled). It sets the
undocumented bit 31 in the auxiliary control register and the FI bit in
the control register, thus disabling hit-under-miss without putting the
processor into full low interrupt latency mode.

Enable virtual to physical translation patching by default in all
kernels. Hide the option behind EMBEDDED.
This can still be turned off if people desire, and they know what
they're doing, to shrink the size of the kernel to a minimum.
