[PATCH 0/2] MIPS: enable APRP (APSP) and add features

[Deng-Cheng Zhu <dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com>]

The APRP model makes it possible that one or more CPUs run the Linux
kernel whereas a dedicated CPU runs special real-time or signal processing
program.

This patchset adds the following to the current APRP support:
1. Several bug fixes;
2. Running floating point heavy jobs on the RP side;
3. Waking up RP side read by interrupt;
4. CPS multicore APRP support.

A mp3 player program was ported to run in the APRP (APSP exactly) model.
Considerable performance benefits were observed on the player program.
Since I encountered a sound card support issue on the current linux-mips
kernel, I rebased this patchset onto mti-2.6.29.4-1. And for the current
kernel, I used a simple test program to validate this work.
