Hi, Steven


Your Tested-by is welcome.

The APRP model makes it possible that one or more CPUs run the Linux
kernel whereas a dedicated CPU runs special real-time or signal processing
program.

This patchset adds the following to the current APRP support:
1. Several bug fixes;
2. Running floating point heavy jobs on the RP side;
3. Waking up RP side read by interrupt;
4. CPS multicore APRP support.

A mp3 player program was ported to run in the APRP (APSP exactly) model.
Considerable performance benefits were observed on the player program.
CodeSourcery tools instead of the old SDE tools were used to build the
example.

Changes:
v4 - v3:
o Rebase onto HEAD of master (3.9-rc6 as of now).
v3 - v2:
o Split CMP/MT flavors into different files -cmp/-mt.
o Put Malta needed changes into a separate patch.
o Code style adjustments in rtlx/vpe files.
o Remove kspd.h which might have been left out in Ralf's kspd removal.
v2 - v1:
o Rebase the patches to the latest kernel, and fix a bunch of warnings and
   errors reported by the current scripts/checkpatch.pl.
o Add MIPS_MALTA dependency to Kconfig since modifications of Malta files
   are needed. But it should be easy to port changes to other platforms.
