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.

This network (the "UDN") connects all the cpus on the chip in a
wormhole-routed dynamic network. Subrectangles of the chip can
be allocated by a "create" ioctl on /dev/hardwall, and then to access the
UDN in that rectangle, tasks must perform an "activate" ioctl on that
same file object after affinitizing themselves to a single cpu in
the region. Sending a wormhole-routed message that tries to leave
that subrectangle causes all activated tasks to receive a SIGILL
(just as they would if they tried to access the UDN without first
activating themselves to a hardwall rectangle).
The original submission of this code to LKML had the driver
instantiated under /proc/tile/hardwall. Now we just use a character
device for this, conventionally /dev/hardwall. Some futures planning
for the TILE-Gx chip suggests that we may want to have other types of
devices that share the general model of "bind a task to a cpu, then
'activate' a file descriptor on a pseudo-device that gives access to
some hardware resource". As such, we are using a device rather
than, for example, a syscall, to set up and activate this code.
As part of this change, the compat_ptr() declaration was fixed and used
to pass the compat_ioctl argument to the normal ioctl. So far we limit
compat code to 2GB, so the difference between zero-extend and sign-extend
(the latter being correct, eventually) had been overlooked.

This model is based on the on-chip interrupt model used by the
TILE-Gx next-generation hardware, and interacts much more cleanly
with the Linux generic IRQ layer.
The change includes modifications to the Tilera hypervisor, which
are reflected in the hypervisor headers in arch/tile/include/arch/.

It turns out there is some variance on the calling conventions for
these syscalls, and <asm-generic/syscalls.h> is already the mechanism
used to handle this. Switch arch/tile over to using that mechanism and
tweak the calling conventions for a couple of tile syscalls to match
<asm-generic/syscalls.h>.

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/.
