From: Noam Camus <noamc at ezchip.com>

This set introduce new platform to ARC architecture.
Platform name called "eznps" for working with EZchip NPS400
Network Proccessor.
NPS400 is targeted to service "fast path" network applications.

NPS400 got mesh of 256 extended ARC cores (AKA CTOP), each core
got 16 HW threats. This is basically SMT core where at any point of
time only one HW thread is active.
Each core have HW scheduler that round robin between eligible HW
threads. Totaly, kernel sees 4096 CPUs which I belive is a high record.
There is no cache coherency between cores so generic user applications
and kernel do not use D$.

Cores got special memory mappings for huge pages (8MB).
Mapping is static and should provide application enough memory without
any "TLB miss". This mapping is on top of TLB mapping.

This is a basic set that will later be followed with additional
set of patches with all advanced features.

Many thanks to all people helping to make this happen.

Regards,
Noam Camus
