    MIPS: Probe the I6500 CPU · 859aeb1b
    Paul Burton authored
    Introduce the I6500 PRID & probe it just the same way as I6400. The MIPS
    I6500 is the latest in Imagination Technologies' I-Class range of CPUs,
    with a focus on scalability & heterogeneity. It introduces the notion of
    multiple clusters to the MIPS Coherent Processing System, allowing for a
    far higher total number of cores & threads in a system when compared
    with its predecessors. Clusters don't need to be identical, and may
    contain differing numbers of cores & IOCUs, or cores with differing
    properties.
    
    This patch alone adds the basic support for booting Linux on an I6500
    CPU without support for any of its new functionality, for which support
    will be introduced in further patches.
