Sometimes it's useful to let the user, while doing performance research,
know what in the IEEE754 exceptions has caused many times of FP emulation
when running a specific application. This patch adds 5 more files to
/sys/kernel/debug/mips/fpuemustats/, whose filenames begin with "ieee754".
These stats are in addition to the existing cp1ops, cp1xops, errors, loads
and stores, which may not be useful in understanding the reasons of ieee754
exceptions.

FP assist software.]

On SMP systems, the collection of statistics can cause cache line
bouncing in the lines associated with the counters. Also there are
races incrementing the counters on multiple CPUs.
To fix both problems, we collect the statistics in per-CPU variables,
and add them up in the debugfs read operation.
As a test I ran the LTP float_bessel test on a 12 CPU Octeon system.
Without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS : 2602 seconds.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_FS: 2640 seconds.
With non-cpu-local atomic statistics: 14569 seconds.

Arguably using the address error handler has always been ugly. But with
processors that handle unaligned loads and stores in hardware the
current mechanism ceases to work so switch it to a BREAK instruction and
allocate break code 514 to the FPU emulator.
Yoichi Yuasa provided a build fix for CONFIG_BUG=n.
