When hotplug and/or a powered down idle state are supported cases will arise where a non-zero VPE must be brought online without VPE 0, and it where multiple VPEs must be onlined simultaneously. This patch prepares for that by: - Splitting struct boot_config into core & VPE boot config structures, allocated one per core or VPE respectively. This allows for multiple VPEs to be onlined simultaneously without clobbering each others configuration. - Indicating which VPEs should be online within a core at any given time using a bitmap. This allows multiple VPEs to be brought online simultaneously and also indicates to VPE 0 whether it should halt after starting any non-zero VPEs that should be online within the core. For example if all VPEs within a core are offlined via hotplug and the user onlines the second VPE within that core: 1) The core will be powered up. 2) VPE 0 will run from the BEV (ie. mips_cps_core_entry) to initialise the core. 3) VPE 0 will start VPE 1 because its bit is set in the cores bitmap. 4) VPE 0 will halt itself because its bit is clear in the cores bitmap. - Moving the core & VPE initialisation to assembly code which does not make any use of the stack. This is because if a non-zero VPE is to be brought online in a powered down core then when VPE 0 of that core runs it may not have a valid stack, and even if it did then it's messy to run through parts of generic kernel code on VPE 0 before starting the correct VPE.
