Implement SMP global cache flushing for MN10300. This will be used by the AM34
which is SMP capable.

The AM34 core is able to do cache snooping, and so can skip some of the cache
flushing.

flush_icache_range() is given virtual addresses to describe the region. It
deals with these by attempting to translate them through the current set of
page tables.
This is fine for userspace memory and vmalloc()'d areas as they are governed by
page tables. However, since the regions above 0x80000000 aren't translated
through the page tables by the MMU, the kernel doesn't bother to set up page
tables for them (see paging_init()).
This means flush_icache_range() as it stands cannot be used to flush regions of
the VM area between 0x80000000 and 0x9fffffff where the kernel resides if the
data cache is operating in WriteBack mode.
To fix this, make flush_icache_range() first check for addresses in the upper
half of VM space and deal with them appropriately, before dealing with any
range in the page table mapped area.
Ordinarily, this is not a problem, but it has the capacity to make kprobes and
kgdb malfunction. It should not affect gdbstub, signal frame setup or module
loading as gdb has its own flush functions, and the others take place in the
page table mapped area only.

Add architecture support for the MN10300/AM33 CPUs produced by MEI to the
kernel.
This patch also adds board support for the ASB2303 with the ASB2308 daughter
board, and the ASB2305. The only processor supported is the MN103E010, which
is an AM33v2 core plus on-chip devices.
