Felix Fietkau 1708644f19 kernel: backport MIPS changes introducing a separate IRQ stack
Prevents crashes when IRQs arrive when the current kernel stack context
already contains deeply nested function calls, e.g. when stacking lots
of network devices on top of each other

This exposes the CONFIG_BOOT_RAW symbol in Kconfig. This is needed on
certain Broadcom chipsets running CFE in order to load the kernel.
