Eugeniy Paltsev 4827d0cf74 ARC: handle DSP presence in HW
When DSP extensions are present, some of the regular integer instructions
such as DIV, MACD etc are executed in the DSP unit with semantics alterable
by flags in DSP_CTRL aux register. This register is writable by userspace
and thus can potentially affect corresponding instructions in kernel code,
intentionally or otherwise. So safegaurd kernel by effectively disabling
DSP_CTRL upon bootup and every entry to kernel.

Do note that for this config we simply zero out the DSP_CTRL reg assuming
userspace doesn't really care about DSP. The next patch caters to the DSP
aware userspace where this reg is saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
