26584853a4 Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endian
Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian
(byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support:

- setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and
  user threads
- big-endian page table walking
- REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault
  processing as they are still little-endian format
- Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed
  to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to
  little-endian

fe68e68f6a [ARM] 5439/1: Do not clear bit 10 of DFSR during abort handling on ARMv6
Because of an ARM1136 erratum (326103), the current v6_early_abort
function needs to set the correct FSR[11] value which determines whether
the data abort was caused by a read or write. For legacy reasons (bit 10
not handled by software), bit 10 was also cleared masking out imprecise
aborts on ARMv6 CPUs. This patch removes the clearing of bit 10 of FSR.

25ef4a67e7 [ARM] 5416/1: Use unused address in v6_early_abort
The target of the strex instruction to clear the exlusive monitor
is currently the top of the stack.  If the store succeeeds this
corrupts r0 in pt_regs.  Use the next stack location instead of
the current one to prevent any chance of corrupting an in-use
address.

43cc19816b [ARM] CONFIG_CPU_MPCORE -> CONFIG_CPU_32v6K
CONFIG_CPU_MPCORE has never been a configuration symbol - it should
be CONFIG_CPU_32v6K.

2c3a054099 [ARM] 2943/1: Clear the exclusive monitor in v6_early_abort
Patch from Catalin Marinas

Data abort caused by ldrex/strex can leave the exclusive monitor in an
unpredictable state. It is recommended that a clrex/strex is performed to
clear this state.

3a1e501511 [PATCH] ARM: 2655/1: ARM1136 SWP instruction abort handler fix
Patch from George G. Davis

As noted in http://www.arm.com/linux/patch-2.6.9-arm1.gz, the "Faulty SWP instruction on 1136 doesn't set bit 11 in DFSR." So the v6_early_abort handler does not report the correct rd/wr direction for the SWP instruction which may result in SEGVS or hangs. In order to work around this problem, this patch merely updates the fix contained in the ARM Ltd. patch to use the macroised abort handler fixups.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
