The MAAR V bit has been renamed VL since another bit called VH is added
at the top of the register when it is extended to 64-bits on a 32-bit
processor with XPA. Rename the V definition, fix the various users, and
add definitions for the VH bit. Also add a definition for the MAARI
Index field.

MAARs should be initialised on each CPU (or rather, core) in the system
in order to achieve consistent behaviour & performance. Previously they
have only been initialised on the boot CPU which leads to performance
problems if tasks are later scheduled on a secondary CPU, particularly
if those tasks make use of unaligned vector accesses where some CPUs
don't handle any cases in hardware for non-speculative memory regions.
Fix this by recording the MAAR configuration from the boot CPU and
applying it to secondary CPUs as part of their bringup.

Weak header file declarations are error-prone because they make every
definition weak, and the linker chooses one based on link order (see
10629d711ed7 ("PCI: Remove __weak annotation from pcibios_get_phb_of_node
decl")).
platform_maar_init() is defined in:
- arch/mips/mm/init.c (where it is marked "weak")
- arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c (without annotation)
The "weak" attribute on the platform_maar_init() extern declaration applies
to the platform-specific definition in arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c,
so both definitions are weak, and which one we get depends on link order.
Remove the "weak" attribute from the declaration. That makes the malta
definition strong, so it will always be preferred if it is present.

Add initialisation for Memory Accessibility Attribute Registers. Generic
code cannot know the platform-specific requirements with regards to
speculative accesses, so it simply calls a platform_maar_init function
which platforms with MAARs are expected to implement by calling the
provided write_maar_pair function & returning the number of MAAR pairs
used. A weak default implementation will simply use no MAAR pairs. Any
present but unused MAAR pairs are then marked invalid, effectively
disabling them.
The end result of this patch is that MAARs are all marked invalid, until
platforms implement the platform_maar_init function.
