add rd, pc, #foo - . - 8 -> adr rd, foo
ldr rd, [pc, #foo - . - 8] -> ldr rd, foo
Also, when saving the return address for a function pointer call, use
"mov lr, pc" just before the call unless the return address is somewhere
other than just after the call site.
Finally, a few obvious little micro-optimisations like using LDR directly
rather than ADR followed by LDR, and loading directly into PC rather than
bouncing via R0.
* Use a common set of exception handlers for all arm32 platforms.
* New FIQ framework based on discussions with Ben Harris, shared
between arm26 and arm32.
The IOMD/VIDC combination is now moved to arch/arm/iomd together. These
files still need a lot of cleaning up :( .... esp. the RC7500 support that
is still dormant in it; this needs either to be removed or split out for
RC7500's ``VIDC'' video/audio variant.
Apart from the RC7500 support wich is still in arch/arm32 the
iomd,vidc,riscpc and podulebus subdirectories of arch/arm32 can be removed.
This split still uses some small parts of arch/arm32 .... those are the MI
parts that haven't been moved yet.
RiscPC/A7000 have been tested and confirmed to build as should NC.
