Recognize T4 and T5 chips. Treating them both as "T2 plus other
stuff" should be extremely safe and make sure distributions will work
when those chips actually ship to customers.

Don't use floating point on Niagara2, use the traditional
plain Niagara code instead.
Unroll Niagara loops to 128 bytes for copy, and 256 bytes
for clear.

The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3".
As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same
as Niagara-T2/T2+. Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use
perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores
for copies.
We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in
this regard. Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can
report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode.
For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags. We probably need
to add a couple, for example:
T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware.
T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for
partitioned shift. One can also now move directly between float
and integer registers.
T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC
calculations, such as XOR multiply. Also there are "OP and negate"
instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate.
T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since
transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and
2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps'
behaves as a NOP.
So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent
all of these things.

The section .text.init.refok is deprecated and __REF (.ref.text)
should be used in assembly files instead. This patch cleans up a few
uses of .text.init.refok in the sparc architecture.
Also fix a reference to .text.init in a comment that wasn't updated to
.init.text.

This is an implementation of a suggestion made by Chris Torek:
--------------------
Something else I noticed in passing: the EX and EX_LD/EX_ST macros
scattered throughout the various .S files make a fair bit of .fixup
code, all of which does the same thing. At the cost of one symbol
in copy_in_user.S, you could just have one common two-instruction
retl-and-mov-1 fixup that they all share.
--------------------
The following is with a defconfig build:

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
