This patch converts arm to use asm-generic/ioctls.h instead of its
own version.
The differences between the arch-specific version and the generic
version are as follows:
- ARM defines its own value for FIOQSIZE, asm-generic/ioctls.h keeps it
- The generic version adds support for termiox

Since we're now using addruart to establish the debug mapping, we can
remove the io_pg_offst and phys_io members of struct machine_desc.
The various declarations were removed using the following script:
grep -rl MACHINE_START arch/arm | xargs \
sed -i '/MACHINE_START/,/MACHINE_END/ { /\.\(phys_io\|io_pg_offst\)/d }'

Since we can get both physical and virtual addresses from the addruart
macro, we can use this to establish the debug mappings.
In the case of CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC, we don't need any mappings, but
may still need to setup r7 correctly.

Rather than checking the MMU status in every instance of addruart, do it
once in kernel/debug.S, and change the existing addruart macros to
return both physical and virtual addresses. The main debug code can then
select the appropriate address to use.
This will also allow us to retreive the address of a uart for the MMU
state that we're not current in.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.
