Andy Ross re-implementation of MMU layer with some subtle changes,
like re-using existent macros, fix page table cache property when
direct mapping it in TLB.
From Andy's original commit message:
This is a reworked MMU layer, sitting cleanly below the page table
handling in the OS. Notable differences from the original work:
+ Significantly smaller code and simpler API (just three functions to
be called from the OS/userspace/ptable layer).
+ Big README-MMU document containing my learnings over the process, so
hopefully fewer people need to go through this in the future.
+ No TLB flushing needed. Clean separation of ASIDs, just requires
that the upper levels match the ASID to the L1 page table page
consistently.
+ Vector mapping is done with a 4k page and not a 4M page, leading to
much more flexibility with hardware memory layout. The original
scheme required that the 4M region containing vecbase be mapped
virtually to a location other than the hardware address, which makes
confusing linkage with call0 and difficult initialization
constraints where the exception vectors run at different addresses
before and after MMU setup (effectively forcing them to be PIC
code).
+ More provably correct initialization, all MMU changes happen in a
single asm block with no memory accesses which would generate a
refill.

Userspace support for Xtensa architecture using Xtensa MMU.
Some considerations:
- Syscalls are not inline functions like in other architectures because
some compiler issues when using multiple registers to pass parameters
to the syscall. So here we have a function call so we can use
registers as we need.
- TLS is not supported by xcc in xtensa and reading PS register is
a privileged instruction. So, we have to use threadptr to know if a
thread is an user mode thread.

Replace all autorefill helpers with only one that invalidates both,
DTLB and ITLB, since that is what is really needed.

...and move it to xtensa_mmu_priv.h.
This would allow the SoC layer to use the RING number if needed.

Initial support for Xtensa MMU version 3. It is using a two level page
table based on fact that the page table is in the virtual space. Only
the top level (page directory) is wired mapped in the TLB to avoid
second level page miss.
The mapped memory is completely fragmented in multiple sections, maybe
we find a better way in future.
The exception handler is where we effectively map the memory, the way it
works is:
1) SW try to access some memory address
2) The address is not mapped, so the MMU will try the auto-refill,
looking the page table
3) The page table contents is not mapped (remember, just the top-level page
is mapped)
4) An exception will be triggered, in the exception we try to read the
portion of the page table that maps the original address
5) The address is not mapped, so the MMU will try again the auto-refill.
This time though, the address is mapped by the top level page that is
properly mapped. (The top-level page maps the page table itself).

This change uses stack frame to print backtrace once exception occurs
Printing backtrace helps to identify the cause of exception
