ARC700 support for 2 interrupt priorities historically allowed even slow
perpherals such as emac and uart to setup high priority interrupts
which was wrong from the beginning as they could possibly delay the more
critical timer interrupt.
The hardware support for 2 level interrupts in ARCompact is less than
ideal anyways (judging from the "hacks" in low level entry code and thus
is not used in productions systems I know of.
So reduce the scope of this to timer only, thereby reducing a bunch of
complexity.

- The asm helpers for calling into irq tracer were missing
- Add calls to above helpers in low level assembly entry code for ARCv2
- irq_save() uses CLRI to disable interrupts and returns the prev interrupt
state (in STATUS32) in a specific encoding (and not the raw value of
STATUS32). This is usable with SETI in irq_restore(). However
save_flags() reads the raw value of STATUS32 which doesn't pair with
irq_save/restore() and thus needs fixing.

Bus errors from userspace on ARCompact based cores are handled by core
as a high priority L2 interrupt but current code treated it as interrupt
Handling an interrupt like exception is certainly not going to go unnoticed.
(and it worked so far as we never saw a Bus error from userspace until
IPPK guys tested a DDR controller with ECC error detection etc hence
needed to explicitly trigger/handle such errors)
- So move mem_service exception handler from common code into ARCv2 code.
- In ARCompact code, define mem_service as L2 interrupt handler which
just drops down to pure kernel mode and goes of to enqueue SIGBUS

For Run-on-reset, non masters need to spin wait. For Halt-on-reset they
can jump to entry point directly.
Also while at it, made reset vector handler as "the" entry point for
kernel including host debugger based boot (which uses the ELF header
entry point)

This is done by improving the laddering logic !
Before:
if Exception
goto excep_or_pure_k_ret
if !Interrupt(L2)
goto l1_chk
else
INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE 2
l1_chk:
if !Interrupt(L1) (i.e. pure kernel mode)
goto excep_or_pure_k_ret
else
INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE 1
excep_or_pure_k_ret:
EXCEPTION_EPILOGUE
Now:
if !Interrupt(L1 or L2) (i.e. exception or pure kernel mode)
goto excep_or_pure_k_ret
; guaranteed to be an interrupt
if !Interrupt(L2)
goto l1_ret
else
INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE 2
; by virtue of above, no need to chk for L1 active
l1_ret:
INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE 1
excep_or_pure_k_ret:
EXCEPTION_EPILOGUE

Returning from pure kernel mode and exception mode use the same code
anyways. Remove one the duplicate blocks
