Hi,
ARCv2 is the next generation ISA from Synopsys and basis for the
HS3{4,6,8} families of processors which retain the traditional ARC mantra of
low power and configurability and are now more performant and feature rich.
Linux has been ported to HS38x series, a 10 stage pipeline core which
supports MMU (with huge pages) and SMP (upto 4 cores) among other features.

This sub-series introduces changes to existing in-tree port of ARC700 core
(based on ARCompact ISA) to allow for better code sharing with new ARCv2 code.
The actual ARCv2 port will follow as a seperate series.
Please review !The complete code is also available in git tree git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc.git # for-HS-upstream Thx, -Vineet
