xtensa: reorganize vectors placement

Allow vectors to be either merged into the kernel .text or put at a
fixed virtual address independently of XIP option. Drop option that
puts vectors at a fixed offset from the kernel text. Add choice to
Kconfig.
Vectors at fixed virtual address may be useful for XIP-aware MTD support
and for noMMU configurations with available IRAM. Configurations without
VECBASE register must put their vectors at specific locations regardless
of the selected option. All other configurations should happily use
merged vectors.

xtensa: move fast exception handlers close to vectors

On XIP kernels it makes sense to have exception vectors and fast
exception handlers together (in a fast memory). In addition, with MTD
XIP support both vectors and fast exception handlers must be outside of
the FLASH.

Add section .exception.text and move fast exception handlers to it.
Put it together with vectors when vectors are outside of the .text.

xtensa: add XIP kernel support

XIP (eXecute In Place) kernel image is the image that can be run
directly from ROM, using RAM only for writable data.

XIP xtensa kernel differs from regular xtensa kernel in the following
ways:
- it has exception/IRQ vectors merged into text section. No vectors
relocation takes place at kernel startup.
- .data/.bss location must be specified in the kernel configuration,
its content is copied there in the _startup function.
- .init.text is merged with the rest of text and is executed from ROM.
- when MMU is used the virtual address where the kernel will be mapped
must be specified in the kernel configuration. It may be in the KSEG
or in the KIO, __pa macro is adjusted to be able to handle both.

xtensa: build kernel with text-section-literals

vmlinux.lds.S doesn't do anything special with literals, so instead of
keeping them separate put them into the corresponding text sections.
Drop explicit .literal sections from the vmlinux.lds.S, use standard
section macros. Mark literal pool locations in the assembly sources.
Unfortunately assembler doesn't put literals into .init sections and
external libgcc may still have .literal sections, so sed transformation
to the linker script is still needed.

xtensa: reduce double exception literal reservation

Double exception vector only needs 20 bytes of space for 5 literals, not
48. Reduce the reservation for double exception vector literals
accordingly. This fixes build for configurations with small user
exception vector size.

xtensa: allow merging vectors into .text section

Currently code for exception/IRQ vectors is stored in kernel image as
initialization data and is copied to its working addresses during
startup. It doesn't always make sense. In many cases vectors location
can be automatically decided at kernel link time and code can be placed
right there. This is especially useful for XIP kernel.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

xtensa: cleanup MMU setup and kernel layout macros

Make kernel load address explicit, independent of the selected MMU
configuration and configurable from Kconfig. Do not restrict it to the
first 512MB of the physical address space.

Cleanup kernel memory layout macros:

- rename VECBASE_RESET_VADDR to VECBASE_VADDR, XC_VADDR to VECTOR_VADDR;
- drop VIRTUAL_MEMORY_ADDRESS and LOAD_MEMORY_ADDRESS;
- introduce PHYS_OFFSET and use it in __va and __pa definitions;
- synchronize MMU/noMMU vectors, drop unused NMI vector;
- replace hardcoded vectors offset of 0x3000 with Kconfig symbol.

xtensa: drop unused sections and remapped reset handlers

There are no .bootstrap or .ResetVector.text sections linked to the
vmlinux image, drop these sections from vmlinux.ld.S. Drop
RESET_VECTOR_VADDR definition only used for .ResetVector.text.

Drop remapped copies of primary and secondary reset vectors, as modern
gdb don't have problems stepping through instructions at arbitrary
locations. Drop corresponding sections from the corresponding linker
scripts.
