The platform that supports SMP currently is a SWARM with a dual-core Sibyte
processor. The kernel config file to use is SWARM_SMP.

The only reason we need to have the sb_load64() and sb_store64()
functions in assembly is to cheat the compiler and generate the
'ld' and 'sd' instructions which it otherwise will not do when
compiling for a 32-bit architecture. There are some 64-bit
registers in the SCD unit that must be accessed using 64-bit
load and store instructions.
This is a workaround for the fact that the CFE is compiled as a 64-bit
application and therefore sets the SR_KX bit every time we call into
it (for e.g. console).
A TLB miss for any address above 0xc0000000 with the SR_KX bit set will
end up at the XTLB exception vector. We workaround this by copying the
standard TLB handler at the XTLB exception vector.

- When zeroing .bss/.sbss do not round end address to page boundary,
it's not neccessary and might destroy data pased by trampoline or
boot loader
interrupt sources feeding into a hardintr anymore. The
mips_mask_hard_irq() function does that for us while an interrupt is
being processed.

1) Adds future RMI directories
2) Places intr_machdep.c in specfic files.arch pointing to the generic
intr_machdep.c. This allows us to have an architecture dependant intr_machdep.c
(which we will need for RMI) in the machine specific directory
3) removes intr_machdep.c from files.mips
4) Adds some TARGET_XLR_XLS ifdef's for the machine specific intra_machdep.h. We
may need to look at finding a better place to put this. But first I want to
get this thing compiling.
