PATCH v2 1/1 MIPS: do not compile generic functions for CONFIG_CAVIUM_OCTEON_SOC

MIPS provides multiple definitions for the following functions:

fw_init_cmdline
__delay
__udelay
__ndelay
memmove
__rmemcpy
memcpy
__copy_user

The generic ones are defined in lib-y objects, which are overridden by the Octeon ones when CONFIG_CAVIUM_OCTEON_SOC is enabled.

The use of EXPORT_SYMBOL in static libraries potentially causes a problem for the llvm linker [1]. So, I want to forcibly link lib-y objects to vmlinux when CONFIG_MODULES=y.

As a groundwork, we must fix multiple definitions that have previously been hidden by lib-y.

If you look at lib/string.c, arch can define __HAVE_ARCH_* to opt out the generic implementation.

Similarly, this commit adds CONFIG_HAVE_PLAT_* to allow a platform to opt out the MIPS generic code.

Changes in v2:
- Use #ifdef instead of __weak. This avoids increasing image size.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
good idea.                                                [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
