The CN63XXP1 needs a couple of workarounds to ensure memory is not written
in unexpected ways.
All PREF with hints in the range 0-4,6-24 are replaced with PREF 28. We
pass a flag to the assembler to cover compiler generated code, and patch
uasm for the dynamically generated code.
The write buffer threshold is reduced to 4.

A 'select EXPORT_UASM' in Kconfig will cause the uasm to be exported
for use in modules. When it is exported, all the uasm data and code
cease to be __init and __initdata.
Also daddiu_bug cannot be __cpuinitdata if uasm is exported. The
cleanest thing is to just make it normal data.

The soon to follow Read Inhibit/eXecute Inhibit patch needs TLBR and
ROTR support in uasm. We also add a UASM_i_ROTR macro.

The following routines
uasm_rel_highest()
uasm_rel_higher()
are needlessly defined global. This patch makes them static.
Compile-tested using a customized config for the Malta board. Booting
the same board up to the shell prompt was also successful with this
patch applied.
Spotted by sparse.

Fold the SB-1 specific implementation of clear_page/copy_page in the
generic version, and rewrite that one in tlbex style. The immediate
benefits:
- It converts the compile-time workaround for SB-1 pass 1 prefetches
to a more efficient run-time check.
- It allows adjustment of loop unfolling, which helps to reduce the
number of redundant cdex cache ops.
- It fixes some esoteric cornercases (the cache line length calculations
can go wrong, and support for 64k pages without prefetch instructions
will overflow the addiu immediate).
- Somewhat better guesses of "good" prefetch values.

This patch moves the micro-assembler in a separate implementation, as
it is useful for further run-time optimizations. The only change in
behaviour is cutting down printk noise at kernel startup time.
Checkpatch complains about macro parameters which aren't protected by
parentheses. I believe this is a flaw in checkpatch, the paste operator
used in those macros won't work with parenthesised parameters.
