A typical SMP system expects cache coherency. Initial NPS platform
support was slated to be SMP w/o cache coherency.
However it seems the platform now selects that option, so there is no
point in keeping it around.

This new header file is for NPS400 SoC (part of ARC architecture).
The header file includes macros for save/restore of HW scheduling.
The control of HW scheduling is achieved by writing core registers.
This code was moved from arc/plat-eznps so it can be used
from drivers/clocksource/, available only for CONFIG_EZNPS_MTM_EXT.

Today we register to plat_smp_ops.clear() method which actually
is acking the IPI.
However this is already taking care by our irqchip driver specifically
by the irq_chip.irq_eoi() method.
This is perfect timing where it should be done and no special handling
is needed at plat_smp_ops.clear().

With generic "identity" num of CPUs is limited to 256 (8 bit).
We use our alternative AUX register GLOBAL_ID (12 bit).
Now we can support up to 4096 CPUs.
