Stop using inline string functions on MIPS as other ARCHs do so,
since the optimized inline asm versions are not small.

This change is triggered by a following MIPS build error:
common/libcommon.a(exports.o)(.text+0xdc): In function `jumptable_init':
common/exports.c:32: undefined reference to `strcmp'
make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

This patches contains several bugfixes and cleanups in the latest upstream:

 - Don't include linux/config.h
 - Remove buggy inline version of memscan.
 - Merge with Linux 2.6.11-rc3.
 - Fix undefined reference to strcpy in binfmt_misc caused by gcc 3.4.
 - Goodbye mips64.  31704 lines of code bite the dust.
 - Replace extern inline with static inline.
 - Fix return value of strncpy.
 - Remove a bunch more "$1" clobbers.

Some CPUs like PPC, BLACKFIN need sync() to ensure cfi flash write command
is fully finished. The sync() is defined in each CPU's io.h file. For
those CPUs which do not need sync for now, a dummy sync() is defined in
their io.h as well.

  directly. Use the uncached SDRAM address instead of the physical
  one.)
