processors, either on reboot or after power down with battery backup.
However, the AT91RM9200 RTC always resets on reboot making it just
about useless at the moment (if we support a low-power mode or an
extended sleep mode, it might become useful).

On single core devices set_stackptrs is only ever called with cpu = 0 in
initarm and will be identical to the existing function. On SMP this needs
to be implemented for sys/arm/mp_machdep.c, but the implementations are
identical for each SoC.
o Disable multi-block operations: they sometimes fail.
o Don't use the PROOF bits yet: they hang the system hard.
o Disable the the multi-block operations for !rm9200, but it
still doesn't help.
o Fix writing < 12 bytes errata to actually work.
o Enable, for the moment, reporting extra bytes soaked up.
restructuring of the driver. I've tried to preserve the other silicon
workarounds that we've added over the years, but haven't had a chance
to extensively test on other hardware. On my AT91RM9200 with 30MHz/1
wire/64 block transfers, I've been able to go from ~.66MB/s to
2.25MB/s in the simple tests I performed, almost a 3.5x improvement.
This cuts the boot time almost in half when everything else goes
right (timed from rtc message to login: prompt).

explicltly enable that. The driver chose to use 60MHz / 2 (30MHz)
most of the time rather than 60MHz / 4 (15MHz) based on the Linux
driver of the time. This pushes the spec a little in order to not
suffer the penalty of running at 15MHz. However, when other bus
masters are active in the system, and the user tries 4-wire mode, the
internal bus arbitration would fail with data loss as a result.

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
FDT-enabled targets were broken after r238043 that relies
on device up the hierarchy to properly setup interrupt.
nexus device for ARM platforms did job only partially:
setting handler but not unmasking interrupt. Unmasking
was performed by platform code.

the linker set of CPU modules. The newbus method, although clever,
had many flaws: it didn't really support multiple SoC, many of the
comments about order were just wrong, and it did a few things far too
late to be useful. delay and cpu_reset now work much earlier in the
boot process.
