697ee80388 Revert "linux: arc: disable kernel unwinding to fix modules loading"
This reverts commit acd41539d6.

There's a fix in upstream that will at some point land in 4.4 stable as
well so we'll get rid of this hack and with the next commit will apply
upstream fix.

acd41539d6 linux: arc: disable kernel unwinding to fix modules loading
With update of binutils for ARC (this is now based on upstream 2.26)
we noticed issues with loadable kernel modules.

Something like that was happening:
--------------------->8-------------------
mbcache: unknown relocation: 49
insmod: can't insert './mbcache.ko': invalid module format
--------------------->8-------------------

More details could be found in that discussion in binutils mailing list:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/74662

As of now the simplest work-around is to disable in-kernel unwinder
for now. That will at least allow us to use modules again.

73015c4cb3 linux: add support of Synopsys ARCHS38-based boards
This patch introduces support of new boards with ARC HS38 cores.

ARC HS38 is a new generation of ARC cores which utilize ARCv2 ISA.
As with ARC770 we're addind support for 2 boards for now:

 [1] Synopsys SDP board (AXS103)
     This is the same base-board as in AXS101 but with
     FPGA-based CPU-tile where ARCHs38 core is implemented.

 [2] nSIM
     Again this is the same simulation engine but configured for
     new instruction set and features of new CPU.
