eb7c792da5 arch/tile: factor out <arch/opcode.h> header
The kernel code was using some <asm> headers that included a mix
of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera <arch>
headers) and structures, enums, and function declarations supporting
the disassembly function of the tile-desc.c sources.

This change refactors that code so that a hardware-specific, but
OS- and application-agnostic header, is created: <arch/opcode.h>.
This header is then exported to userspace along with the other
<arch> headers and can be used to build userspace code; in particular,
it is used by glibc as part of implementing the backtrace() function.

The new header, together with a header that specifically describes
the disassembly code (<asm/tile-desc.h> with _32 and _64 variants),
replaces the old <asm/opcode-tile*.h> and <asm/opcode_constants*.h>
headers.

As part of this change, we are also renaming the 32-bit constants
from TILE_xxx to TILEPRO_xxx to better reflect the fact that they
are specific to the TILEPro architecture, and not to TILE-Gx
and any successor "tile" architecture chips.

93013a0f53 arch/tile: refactor backtracing code
This change is the result of some work to make the backtrace code more
shareable between kernel, libc, and gdb.

For the kernel, some good effects are to eliminate the hacky
"VirtualAddress" typedef in favor of "unsigned long", to eliminate a
bunch of spurious kernel doc comments, to remove the dead "bt_read_memory"
function, and to use "__tilegx__" in #ifdefs instead of "TILE_CHIP".

863fbac671 arch/tile: Shrink the tile-opcode files considerably.
The C file (tile-desc_{32,64}.c) was about 300KB before this change,
and is now shrunk down to 100K.  The original file included support
for BFD in the binutils toolchain, which is not necessary in the
kernel; the kernel version only needs to include enough support to
enable the single-stepper and backtracer.

867e359b97 arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.
This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips.
No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet.

This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level
low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are
shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic;
and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
