[MIPS] SMTC: Allow control over TC assignment to vpe0.
Modify the SMTC initialization code to allow boot-time specification not only of how many VPEs and TCs to use, but also how many TCs out of the allowed pool are to be bound to VPE 0. The new boot option is "vpe0tcs=N", where N is an integer. Using it in combination with the existing options allows arbitrary assignments across the 2 VPEs of a 34K. e.g. "maxtcs=3 vpe0tcs=1" forces VPE0 to have 1 TC, while VPE1 has 2, and "maxtcs=4 vpe0tcs=3" forces VPE0 to have 3 TCs, while VPE1 gets 1. If no vpe0tcs option is specified, the traditional algorithm of evenly dividing TCs between available VPEs, with the odd "slop" going to VPE0, is retained. The reason for doing this is to allow a finer balancing of TCs which can handle I/O interrupts on Malta (those on VPE 0) and those which cannot. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
