Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Fix assembly error from MIPSr2 code used within MIPS_ISA_ARCH_LEVEL

Fix assembly errors like:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:287: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips3 (mips3) `dins $10,$7,32,32'
{standard input}:680: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips3 (mips3) `dins $10,$7,32,32'
{standard input}:1274: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips3 (mips3) `dins $12,$9,32,32'
{standard input}:2175: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips3 (mips3) `dins $10,$7,32,32'
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:277: mm/highmem.o] Error 1

with code produced from `__cmpxchg64' for MIPS64r2 configurations.

This is due to MIPS_ISA_ARCH_LEVEL downgrading the assembly architecture
to `r4000' for MIPS64r2 configurations while there is a block of code
containing a DINS MIPS64r2 instruction conditionalized on MIPS_ISA_REV
>= 2 within the scope of the downgrade.

The assembly architecture override is only there for the LLD/SCD
instructions, so fix the problem by wrapping these instructions on their
own only, following the practice established with commit cfd54de3b0e4
("MIPS: Avoid move psuedo-instruction whilst using MIPS_ISA_LEVEL") and
commit 378ed6f0e3c5 ("MIPS: Avoid using .set mips0 to restore ISA").

Scrap it! There's so much accumulated cruft around the handling of LL/SC
sequences that I forgot what the original intent was. The whole sequence
has to be assembled for an explicit 64-bit ISA of course as it's meant to
work with 32-bit kernels. The commits referred above are red herrings,
and should not have been needed in the first place if not for the cruft.

I don't think I'll get to cleaning up the cruft anytime soon, but I'll
post v2 tonight to address this specific issue. Long-term perhaps we can
make some extraneous hacks (ones to address issues with earlier hacks) go
away.
