[PATCH 07/11] ARC: [plat-eznps] new command line argument for HW scheduler at MTM

[Noam Camus]

From: Noam Camus <noamca at mellanox.com>

We add ability for all cores at NPS SoC to control the number of cycles
HW thread can execute before it is replace with another eligible
HW thread within the same core. The replacement is done by the
HE scheduler.
