Subject: [PATCH] mips: Kconfig: add QEMUMIPS64 option

In 5.4+ mips has switched to using the generic VDSO implementation, in
particular the following commits are the bulk of the changes:

   932bb934ed4d mips: compat: vdso: Use legacy syscalls as fallback
   cdab7e2c73d5 mips: vdso: Fix flip/flop vdso building bug
   b4c0f7fa5308 mips: vdso: Fix source path
   1f66c45db330 mips: Add clock_gettime64 entry point
   abed3d826f2f mips: Add clock_getres entry point
   6393e6064486 mips: fix vdso32 build, again
   24640f233b46 mips: Add support for generic vDSO
   8919975b6171 MIPS: VDSO: Fix build for binutils < 2.25
   90800281e761 MIPS: VDSO: Remove unused gettimeofday.c

There is a (currently) unknown interaction between qemumips64, the
mti_malta64 platform, glibc and VDSO that causes a segfault when
gettimeofday is called during boot. It appears that the VDSO
configuration of the gic address is incorrect, and hence when
read_gic_count() is called during do_hres() initialization, the
page is not properly mapped and a segfault is triggered.

If we avoid reading the gic, and let the vdso syscall fallbacks
be enabled, we are find for boot. The most flexible way to avoid
these reads is to make the two malta clocksources not be selected
when we are booting under qemumips64. This allows other platforms
to not be impacted.

Once a root cause of this bad mapping is found, we can drop the
new CONFIG_QEMUMIPS64 option and behaviour will revert to using
the git automatically.
