4d93617d87 arc: merge common start-up code between ARC and ARCv2
Even though ARCompact and ARCv2 are not binary compatible most of
assembly instructions are used in both. With this change we'll get rid
of duplicate code.

Still IVTs are implemented differently so we're keeping them in separate
files.

f13606b77d arc: introduce U-Boot port for ARCv2 ISA
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.
