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.

On the off chance that uasm ever warns about overflow, there is no way
to know what the offending instruction is.
Change the printks to WARNs, so we can get a nice stack trace. It has
the added benefit of being much more noticeable than the short single
line warning message, so is less likely to be ignored.

The CN63XXP1 needs a couple of workarounds to ensure memory is not written
in unexpected ways.
All PREF with hints in the range 0-4,6-24 are replaced with PREF 28. We
pass a flag to the assembler to cover compiler generated code, and patch
uasm for the dynamically generated code.
The write buffer threshold is reduced to 4.

The following routines
uasm_rel_highest()
uasm_rel_higher()
are needlessly defined global. This patch makes them static.
Compile-tested using a customized config for the Malta board. Booting
the same board up to the shell prompt was also successful with this
patch applied.
Spotted by sparse.

Fold the SB-1 specific implementation of clear_page/copy_page in the
generic version, and rewrite that one in tlbex style. The immediate
benefits:
- It converts the compile-time workaround for SB-1 pass 1 prefetches
to a more efficient run-time check.
- It allows adjustment of loop unfolling, which helps to reduce the
number of redundant cdex cache ops.
- It fixes some esoteric cornercases (the cache line length calculations
can go wrong, and support for 64k pages without prefetch instructions
will overflow the addiu immediate).
- Somewhat better guesses of "good" prefetch values.

This patch moves the micro-assembler in a separate implementation, as
it is useful for further run-time optimizations. The only change in
behaviour is cutting down printk noise at kernel startup time.
Checkpatch complains about macro parameters which aren't protected by
parentheses. I believe this is a flaw in checkpatch, the paste operator
used in those macros won't work with parenthesised parameters.
