This was disabled recently due to lack of support in KDB disassembler
and DTrace FBT provider. Support for 'C'-extension to both of these was
added, so we can now enable 'C'-extension.
This reduces size of the kernel important for low-end embedded devices,
and saves cache footprint for high perfomance machines.

It works excellent, but KDB disassembler and DTrace FBT provider for
RISC-V do lack support for it. They currently handle 4-byte instructions
only, while C-compressed ISA extension introduces 2-byte instructions
freely mixing them together.
So disable it for now.

Make armv7 as a new MACHINE_ARCH.
Copy all the places we do armv6 and add armv7 as basically an
alias. clang appears to generate code for armv7 by default. armv7 hard
float isn't supported by the the in-tree gcc, so it hasn't been
updated to have a new default.
Support armv7 as a new valid MACHINE_ARCH (and by extension
TARGET_ARCH).

New version is not compatible on supervisor mode with v1.9.1
(previous version).
Highlights:
o BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) provides no initial page tables
anymore allowing us to choose VM, to build page tables manually
and enable MMU in S-mode.
o SBI interface changed.
o GENERIC kernel.
FDT is now chosen standard for RISC-V hardware description.
DTB is now provided by Spike (golden model simulator). This
allows us to introduce GENERIC kernel. However, description
for console and timer devices is not provided in DTB, so move
these devices temporary to nexus bus.
o Supervisor can't access userspace by default. Solution is to
set SUM (permit Supervisor User Memory access) bit in sstatus
register.
o Compressed extension is now turned on by default.
o External GCC 7.1 compiler used.
o _gp renamed to __global_pointer$
o Compiler -march= string is now in use allowing us to choose
required extensions (compressed, FPU, atomic, etc).

Previously the linker emulation was only passed when building binary
objects for firmware modules. This change always passes the desired
output format for kernel modules and kernels rather than requiring the
toolchain's default output format to match the desired output format.
This in turn permits use of external toolchains whose default output
format does not match the desired output format.

* Clang/llvm does not (yet) support -m(no-)spe, so make it gcc-only
* Clang now supports -msoft-float, and does not appear to recognize
"-disable-ppc-float-in-variadic", which appears to have been a crutch until
soft-float was implemented. It's now implemented for both 32- and 64-bit.
* Clang/llvm use a 'medium' code model by default for powerpc64, supporting up
to 4GB TOC, and does not support the '-mminimal-toc' option. Given both of
these, make -mminimal-toc gcc-only.

Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.

This is in preparation for linking with LLVM's lld, which does not have
a compiled-in default output emulation. lld requires that it is
specified via the -m option, or obtained from the object file(s) being

This will also allow all build targets to share a common linker binary.

The C standard undefines behavior when signed integers overflow. The
compiler toolchain has become more adept at detecting this and taking
advantage of faster undefined behavior. At the current time this has the
unfortunate effect of the clock stopping after 24 days of uptime.
clang makes no distinction between -fwrapv and -fno-strict-overflow. gcc
does treat them differently but -fwrapv is mature in gcc and is the
behavior are actually expecting.
