6ebbf2ce43 ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+
ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).

We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.

Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code.  This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

f9ff907b0a ARM: 8048/1: fix v7-M setup stack location
__v7m_setup_stack currently sits in the .proc.info.init section, and
thus creates a bogus proc info entry (which by the way matches any
unknown CPU IDs, due to the entry's mask being 0).  Move it out of
there.

6fae9cdafc ARM: ARMv7-M: implement read_cpuid_ext
On v7-M the extended cpuid registers are not available from CP15 but they
are memory mapped in the System Control Space.
There isn't an equivalent available for CPUID_{CACHETYPE,TCM,TLBTYPE,MPIDR}.

55bdd69411 ARM: Add base support for ARMv7-M
This patch adds the base support for the ARMv7-M
architecture. It consists of the corresponding arch/arm/mm/ files and
various #ifdef's around the kernel. Exception handling is implemented by
a subsequent patch.

[ukleinek: squash in some changes originating from commit

b5717ba (Cortex-M3: Add support for the Microcontroller Prototyping System)

from the v2.6.33-arm1 patch stack, port to post 3.6, drop zImage
support, drop reorganisation of pt_regs, assert CONFIG_CPU_V7M doesn't
leak into installed headers and a few cosmetic changes]
