This patch modifies the way we store core & VP IDs such that we store
them in a single 32 bit integer whose format matches that of the MIPSr6
GlobalNumber register. Whereas we have previously stored core & VP IDs
in separate fields, storing them in a single GlobalNumber-like field:
1) Reduces the size of struct cpuinfo_mips by 4 bytes, and will allow
it to not grow when cluster support is added.
2) Gives us a natural place to store cluster number, which matches up
with what the architecture provides.
3) Will be useful in the future as a parameter to the MIPSr6 GINVI
instruction to specify a target CPU whose icache that instruction
should operate on.
The cpu_set*() accessor functions are moved out of the asm/cpu-info.h
header in order to allow them to use the WARN_ON macro, which is
unusable in asm/cpu-info.h due to include ordering.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
