[ARM] 3052/1: add ixp2000 microcode loader Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch adds a microcode loader for the ixp2000 architecture. The ixp2000 is an xscale-based CPU with a number of additional small CPUs ('microengines') on die that can be programmed to do various things. Depending on the ixp2000 model, there are between 2 and 16 microengines. This code provides an API that allows configuring the microengines, loading code into them, and starting and stopping them and reading out a number of status registers, and is used by the microengine network driver that was recently announced to netdev.
