Modern ARMv7-A cores can optionally implement these new hardware
features:
- VFPv4:
The latest version of the ARMv7 vector floating-point extensions,
including hardware support for fused multiple accumulate. D16 or D32
variants may be implemented.
- Integer divide:
The SDIV and UDIV instructions provide signed and unsigned integer
division in hardware. When implemented, these instructions may be
available in either both Thumb and ARM, or Thumb only.
This patch adds new HWCAP defines to describe these new features. The
integer divide capabilities are split into two bits for ARM and Thumb
respectively. Whilst HWCAP_IDIVA should never be set if HWCAP_IDIVT is
clear, separating the bits makes it easier to interpret from userspace.

The HWCAP numbers are defined as constants, each one being a power of 2.
This has become slightly unwieldy now that we have reached 32k.
This patch changes the HWCAP defines to use (1 << n) instead of coding
the constant directly. The values remain unchanged.

The TLS register is only available on ARM1136 r1p0 and later.
Set HWCAP_TLS flags if hardware TLS is available and test for
it if CONFIG_CPU_32v6K is not set for V6.
Note that we set the TLS instruction in __kuser_get_tls
dynamically as suggested by Jamie Lokier <jamie@shareable.org>.
Also the __switch_to code is optimized out in most cases as
suggested by Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>.

The VFPv3D16 is a VFPv3 CPU configuration where only 16 double registers
are present, as the VFPv2 configuration. This patch adds the
corresponding hwcap bits so that applications or debuggers have more
information about the supported features.

Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
