Allow enabling frame pointer support; this makes it easier to hook
into the various kernel features that claim they require it without
having to add Kconfig conditionals everywhere (a la mips, ppc, s390,
and microblaze). When enabled, it basically eliminates leaf functions
as such, and stops optimizing tail and sibling calls. It adds around
3% to the size of the kernel when enabled.

The "inv" (invalidate) instruction is generally less safe than "finv"
(flush and invalidate), as it will drop dirty data from the cache.
It turns out we have almost no need for "inv" (other than for the
older 32-bit architecture in some limited cases), so convert to
"finv" where possible and delete the extra "inv" infrastructure.

This was shown up by running with "allmodconfig". I used
EXPORT_SYMBOL() to match existing conventions in files that
were already exporting symbols, or that were exported that way
by other architectures, and otherwise EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

There were some correctness issues with this code that are now fixed
with this change. The change is likely less performant than it could
be, but it should no longer be vulnerable to any races with memory
operations on the memory network while invalidating a range of memory.
This code is run infrequently so performance isn't critical, but
correctness definitely is.

Pragmatically it couldn't be wrong to cast pointers to long to compare
them (since all kernel addresses are in the top half of VA space),
but it's more correct to cast to unsigned long.

Otherwise, it's possible to end up with the prefetcher pulling
data into cache that the code believes has been flushed.

It now takes an additional argument so it can be used to
flush-and-invalidate pages that are cached using hash-for-home
as well those that are cached with coherence point on a single cpu.
This allows it to be used more widely for changing the coherence
point of arbitrary pages when necessary.

This code is used in other places in our system than in Linux, so
to share it we now implement it as an inline function in our low-level
<arch> headers, and instantiate it in one file in Linux's arch/tile/lib.
The file is now cacheflush.c and is C code rather than the strangely-named
and assembler-implemented __invalidate_icache.S.
