The C6X architecture currently lacks an MMU so memory management is relatively
simple. There is no bus snooping between L2 and main memory but coherent DMA
memory is supported by making regions of main memory uncached. If such a region
is desired, it can be specified on the commandline with a "memdma=" argument.

This is the basic devicetree support for C6X. Currently, four boards are
supported. Each one uses a different SoC part. Two of the four supported
SoCs are multicore. One with 3 cores and the other with 6 cores. There is
no coherency between the core-level caches, so SMP is not an option. It is
possible to run separate kernel instances on the various cores. There is
currently no C6X bootloader support for device trees so we build in the DTB
for now.
There are some interesting twists to the hardware which are of note for device
tree support. Each core has its own interrupt controller which is controlled
by special purpose core registers. This core controller provides 12 general
purpose prioritized interrupt sources. Each core is contained within a
hardware "module" which provides L1 and L2 caches, power control, and another
interrupt controller which cascades into the core interrupt controller. These
core module functions are controlled by memory mapped registers. The addresses
for these registers are the same for each core. That is, when coreN accesses
a module-level MMIO register at a given address, it accesses the register for
coreN even though other cores would use the same address to access the register
in the module containing those cores. Other hardware modules (timers, enet, etc)
which are memory mapped can be accessed by all cores.
The timers need some further explanation for multicore SoCs. Even though all
timer control registers are visible to all cores, interrupt routing or other
considerations may make a given timer more suitable for use by a core than
some other timer. Because of this and the desire to have the same image run
on more than one core, the timer nodes have a "ti,core-mask" property which
is used by the driver to scan for a suitable timer to use.

This patch provides the early boot code for C6X architecture. There is a
16 entry vector table which is used to direct reset and interrupt events. The
vector table entries contain a small amount of code (maximum of 8 opcodes)
which simply branches to the actual event handling code.
The head.S code simply clears BSS, setups up a few control registers, and calls
machine_init followed by start_kernel. The machine_init code in setup.c does
the early flat tree parsing (memory, commandline, etc). At setup_arch time, the
code does the usual memory setup and minimally scans the devicetree for any
needed information.
