Use the previously unused TPIDRPRW register to store percpu offsets.
TPIDRPRW is only accessible in PL1, so it can only be used in the kernel.
This replaces 2 loads with a mrc instruction for each percpu variable
access. With hackbench, the performance improvement is 1.4% on Cortex-A9
(highbank). Taking an average of 30 runs of "hackbench -l 1000" yields:
Before: 6.2191
After: 6.1348
Will Deacon reported similar delta on v6 with 11MPCore.
The asm "memory clobber" are needed here to ensure the percpu offset
gets reloaded. Testing by Will found that this would not happen in
__schedule() which is a bit of a special case as preemption is disabled
but the execution can move cores.

With d8ecc5c (kbuild: asm-generic support, 2011-04-27) we can
remove a handful of asm-generic wrappers in ARM code. Since the
generic version of sizes.h doesn't contain SZ_48M, we replace
the 4 users of SZ_48M with the equivalent SZ_32M + SZ_16M.

Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
