PATCH 1/1 : Fix RM52xx Support for SGI O2

SGI O2 systems can use the rare RM5200 CPU board (Nevada). Building the kernel with RM52xx selected, will however, cause an ARCS Exception at bootup because the kernel was built with cpu_has_llsc defined.

Changing the macro check in asm-mips/mach-ip32/cpu-feature-overrides.h to check for both CPU_R5000 or CPU_NEVADA and CPU_64BIT will fix the issue by defining cpu_has_llsc to 0. The patch below does this, allowing an RM52xx kernel to be booted on SGI O2 systems. It also allows such a CPU to be selected in menuconfig on O2 as well.
