The affinity between ARM processors is defined in the MPIDR register.
We can identify which processors are in the same cluster,
and which ones have performance interdependency. We can define the
cpu topology of ARM platform, that is then used by sched_mc and sched_smt.
The default state of sched_mc and sched_smt config is disable.
When enabled, the behavior of the scheduler can be modified with
sched_mc_power_savings and sched_smt_power_savings sysfs interfaces.

Given that we want the default to not have any <mach/memory.h> and given
that there are now fewer cases where it is still provided than the cases
where it is not at this point, this makes sense to invert the logic and
just identify the exception cases.
The word "need" instead of "have" was chosen to construct the config
symbol so not to suggest that having a mach/memory.h file is actually
a feature that one should aim for.

This also removes the mach/s3c2400 version which was probably never used
due to the fact that we have this line in arch/arm/Makefile:
machine-$(CONFIG_ARCH_S3C2410) := s3c2410 s3c2400 [...]
This is later used to construct the search path for:
The compiler would be looking into mach-s3c2410 and picking up this
version first. Any config that was actually expecting the mach-s3c2400
version was therefore producing a broken kernel binary. Not relying on
any of them anymore would fix that issue.

When the CONFIG_NO_MACH_MEMORY_H symbol is selected by a particular
machine class, the machine specific memory.h include file is no longer
used and can be removed. In that case the equivalent information can
be obtained dynamically at runtime by enabling CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT
or by specifying the physical memory address at kernel configuration time.
If/when all instances of mach/memory.h are removed then this symbol could
be removed.

This patch implements a workaround for erratum 764369 affecting
Cortex-A9 MPCore with two or more processors (all current revisions).
Under certain timing circumstances, a data cache line maintenance
operation by MVA targeting an Inner Shareable memory region may fail to
proceed up to either the Point of Coherency or to the Point of
Unification of the system. This workaround adds a DSB instruction before
the relevant cache maintenance functions and sets a specific bit in the
diagnostic control register of the SCU.
