ARC HS and ARC EM are new cores based on ARCv2 ISA which is binary
incompatible with ISAv1 (AKA ARCompact).
Significant difference between ISAv2 and v1 is implementation of
interrupt vector table.
In v1 it is implemented in the same way as on many other architectures -
as a special location where user may put whether code executed in place
(if machine word of space is enough) or jump to a full-scale interrupt
handler.
In v2 interrupt table is just an array of adresses of real interrupt
handlers. That requires a separate section for IVT that is not encoded
as code by assembler.
This change adds support for following cores:
* ARC EM6 (simple 32-bit microcontroller without MMU)
* ARC HS36 (advanced 32-bit microcontroller without MMU)
* ARC HS38 (advanced 32-bit microcontroller with MMU)
As a part of ARC HS38 new version of MMU (v4) was introduced.
Also this change adds AXS131 board which is the same DW ARC SDP base board but
with ARC HS38 CPU tile.

This change allows to keep board description clean and minimalistic.
This is especially helpful if one board may house different CPUs with
different features.
It is applicable to both FPGA-based boards or those that have CPUs
mounted on interchnagable daughter-boards.

Now we may select a particular version of ARC700:
* ARC750D or
* ARC770D
It allows more flexible (or more fine tuned) configuration of U-Boot.
Before that change we relied on minimal configuration but now we may
use specific features of each CPU.
Moreover allows us to escape manual selection of options that
exist in both CPUs but may have say different version like MMUv2 in
ARC750D vs MMUv3 in ARC770D.

These are header files used by ARC700 architecture.
Also note that "arch-arc700/hardware.h" is only required for compilation of
"designware_i2c" driver which refers to "asm/arch/hardware.h".
It would be good to fix mentioned driver sometime soon but it will cause
changes in ARM board configs that use "designware_i2c".
