Flushing caches is probably sensible on reset but flush_cache_all has been
a no-op for a very long time.

c861519fcf ("MIPS: Fix delay loops which may
be removed by GCC.") which made it upstream was an outdated version of the
patch and is lacking some the removal of two variables that became unused
thus resulting in further warnings and build breakage. The commit
from ae878615d7cee5d7346946cf1ae1b60e427013c2 was correct however.

GCC 4.1 and newer remove empty loops. This becomes a problem when delay
loops get removed. Fixed by rewriting to user the proper Linux interface
for such delays.

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension
during a kernel build. Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.
This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

Now that Yosemite's gone we can move the MSP71xx code one level up.
