[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/9] MIPS: improve start.S and add exception support

[Daniel Schwierzeck]

Fix and optinmize initialization of cp0 registers. Also add
the possibilty to setup the initial stack and global data in
SRAM to provide a C environment for lowlevel_init(). This
could be used on the QCA ath79 platform to rewrite and
optimize the low-level init code.

Add support for a dynamic exception vectors in RAM and add
initial exception handlers. The general exception handler
prints an oops message similar to Linux kernel and then hangs.
The EJTAG exception handler checks for SDBBP and delegates to
the SDBBP handler if necessary. Otherwise the debug mode
will be simply exited. The SDBBP handler currently only
prints the content of registers c0_depc and c0_debug. This
could be extended in the future to handle semi-hosting
according to the MIPS UHI specification.
