82622284dd MIPS: Put PGD in C0_CONTEXT for 64-bit R2 processors.
Processors that support the mips64r2 ISA can in four instructions
convert a shifted PGD pointer stored in the upper bits of c0_context
into a usable pointer.  By doing this we save a memory load and
associated potential cache miss in the TLB exception handlers.

Since the upper bits of c0_context were holding the CPU number, we
move this to the upper bits of c0_xcontext which doesn't have enough
bits to hold the PGD pointer, but has plenty for the CPU number.

c2ea1d56ea MIPS: Avoid potential hazard on Context register
set_saved_sp reads Context register. Avoid reading stale value from
earlier incomplete write.

d30cecbcbe MIPS: Don't write ones to reserved entryhi bits.
We've silently been relying on the hardware chopping off excess, reserved
ASID bits for no better reason that it saving an instruction.  Because we
already have:

#define cpu_asid(cpu, mm)       (cpu_context((cpu), (mm)) & ASID_MASK)

in <asm/mmu_context.h>.

We can use a cleanup to avoid writing non-zero bits into the reserved
entryhi bits.  This avoid triggering some debugging assertion in the
Cavium simulator.

55b8cab49d cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapper: mips
Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask.

It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

631330f584 MIPS: Build fix - include <linux/smp.h> into all smp_processor_id() users.
Some of the were relying into smp.h being dragged in by another header
which of course is fragile.  <asm/cpu-info.h> uses smp_processor_id()
only in macros and including smp.h there leads to an include loop, so
don't change cpu-info.h.
