Update MIPS email addresses

MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such
many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch
updates the addresses for those who:

- Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com
email address, or any patches dated within the past year.

- Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business
unit, as determined from an internal email address list.

- Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed
a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej).

- Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt &
myself.

New addresses are of the form [email protected], and all
verified against an internal email address list. An entry is added to
.mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new
addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead.

Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then
mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.

MIPS: generic: Introduce generic DT-based board support

Introduce a "generic" platform, which aims to be board-agnostic by
making use of device trees passed by the boot protocol defined in the
MIPS UHI (Universal Hosting Interface) specification. Provision is made
for supporting boards which use a legacy boot protocol that can't be
changed, but adding support for such boards or any others is left to
followon patches.

Right now the built kernels expect to be loaded to 0x80100000, ie. in
kseg0. This is fine for the vast majority of MIPS platforms, but
nevertheless it would be good to remove this limitation in the future by
mapping the kernel via the TLB such that it can be loaded anywhere & map
itself appropriately.

Configuration is handled by dynamically generating configs using
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh, somewhat similar to the way powerpc
makes use of it. This allows for variations upon the configuration, eg.
differing architecture revisions or subsets of driver support for
differing boards, to be handled without having a large number of
defconfig files.
