Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

Partially revert commit e0c14a260d66ba35935600d6435940a566fe806b
and turn off LL/SC when building a pure microMIPS kernel. This is
a temporary fix until the cmpxchg assembly macro functions are
re-written to not use the HI/LO registers in address calculations.
Also add .insn in selected user access functions which would
otherwise produce ISA mode jump incompatibilities. This is also a
temporary fix.

All synthesizable CPU cores that could be loaded into a SEAD3's FPGA are
MIPS32 or MIPS64 CPUs that have ll/sc.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.
