HW bug description: in case of HW thread context switch
the dpc configuration of the exiting thread is dragged
one cycle into the next thread.
In order to avoid the consequences of this bug, the DPC register
is set to an initial value, and not changed afterwards.

We add ability for all cores at NPS SoC to control the number of cycles
HW thread can execute before it is replace with another eligible
HW thread within the same core. The replacement is done by the
HW scheduler.

[vgupta: simplified handlign of out of range argument value]
On ARC700 (and nSIM), user mode memory error triggers an L2 interrupt
which is handled gracefully by kernel (or it tries to despite this being
imprecise, and error could get charged to kernel itself). The offending
task is killed and kernel moves on.
NPS hardware however raises a Machine Check exception for same error
which is NOT recoverable by kernel.
This patch aligns kernel handling for nSIM case, to same as hardware by
overriding the default user space bus error handler.

This counter represents threshold for consecutive stall which
would trigger HW threads scheduling. However when enabled, low
threshhold values cause performance degradation and in the
worst case even livelock.
So disable it by resorting to HW reset value
