mips: mm: Create UCA-based ioremap_wc() method
Modern MIPS cores (like P5600/6600, M5150/6520, end so on) which got L2-cache on chip also can enable a special type Cache-Coherency attribute (CCA) named UnCached Accelerated attribute (UCA). In this way uncached accelerated accesses are treated the same way as non-accelerated uncached accesses, but uncached stores are gathered together for more efficient bus utilization. So to speak this CCA enables uncached transactions to better utilize bus bandwidth via burst transactions. This is exactly why ioremap_wc() method has been introduced in Linux. Alas MIPS-platform code hasn't implemented it so far, instead default one has been used which was an alias to ioremap_nocache. In order to fix this we added MIPS-specific ioremap_wc() macro substituted by generic __ioremap_mode() method call with writecombine CPU-info field passed. It shall create real ioremap_wc() method if CPU-cache supports UCA feature and fall-back to _CACHE_UNCACHED attribute if one doesn't. Additionally platform-specific io.h shall declare ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WC macro as indication of architectural definition of ioremap_wc() (similar to x86/powerpc).
