This is pretty much a complete rewrite based on the existing i386 code. The
patches have been circulating for a couple years and have been looked at by
plenty of people, but I'm not putting anybody on the hook as having reviewed
this in any formal sense except myself.
After this has gotten wider testing from the user community, ARM_NEW_PMAP
will become the default and various dregs of the old pmap code will be
removed.

- Eliminate unused irqframe
- Eliminate unused saframe
- Instead of splitting r4-sp storage between the stack and switchframe,
just put all the registers in switchframe and eliminate the un_32 struct.

a leftover from the days when a low-level debugger had hooks in the
undefined exception vector and needed stack space to function. These days
it effectively isn't used because we switch immediately to the svc32 mode
stack on exception entry. For that, the single undef mode stack per core
that gets set up at init time works fine.
The stack wasn't necessary but it was harmful, because the space for it
was carved out of the normal per-thread svc32 stack, in effect cutting
that 8K stack in half. If svc32 mode used more than 4k of stack space it
wandered down into the undef mode stack, and then an undef exception would
overwrite a couple words on the stack while switching to svc32 mode,
corrupting the scv32 stack. Having another stack abut the bottom of the
svc32 stack also effectively mooted the guard page below the stack.

really need it. That would be almost everywhere it was included. Add
it in a couple files that really do need it and were previously getting
it by accident via another header.
Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms
It only supports sa1110 (on simics) right now, but xscale support should come
soon.

Most of this comes from NetBSD.
