c658eac628 [XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessors
The Xtensa architecture allows to define custom instructions and
registers. Registers that are bound to a coprocessor are only
accessible if the corresponding enable bit is set, which allows
to implement a 'lazy' context switch mechanism. Other registers
needs to be saved and restore at the time of the context switch
or during interrupt handling.

This patch adds support for these additional states:

- save and restore registers that are used by the compiler upon
  interrupt entry and exit.
- context switch additional registers unbound to any coprocessor
- 'lazy' context switch of registers bound to a coprocessor
- ptrace interface to provide access to additional registers
- update configuration files in include/asm-xtensa/variant-fsf

de4f6e5b41 [XTENSA] clean-up header files
The header files in the asm-xtensa directory are not clean and
'make headers_check' fails. This is a first patch to fix most of
the header files. It removes unnecessary include statements and
adds some that are required for building the kernel. The linker
script required some updates or the linking stage would fail.
