Doing calibrate delay on a hardware thread will be inaccurate since
it depends on the load on other threads in the core. It will also
slow down the boot process when done for 128 hardware threads. Switch
to a pre-computed loops per jiffy based on the core frequency. The
value is computed based on the core frequency and roughly matches the
value calculated by calibrate_delay().

The XLR/XLS/XLP PIC has a 8 countdown timers which run at the PIC
frequencey. One of these can be used as a clocksource to provide
timestamps that is common across cores. This can be used in place
of the count/compare clocksource which is per-CPU.
On XLR/XLS PIC registers are 32-bit, so we just use the lower 32-bits
of the PIC counter. On XLP, the whole 64-bit can be used.
Provide common macros and functions for PIC timer registers on XLR/XLS
and XLP, and use them to register a PIC clocksource.

- Move code that can be shared with XLP (irq.c, smp.c, time.c and
xlr_console.c) to arch/mips/netlogic/common
- Add asm/netlogic/haldefs.h and asm/netlogic/common.h for common and
io functions shared with XLP
- remove type 'nlm_reg_t *' and use uint64_t for mmio offsets
- Move XLR specific code in smp.c to xlr/wakeup.c
- Move XLR specific PCI code from irq.c to mips/pci/pci-xlr.c
- Provide API for pic functions called from common/irq.c
