sh: delay slot future proofing via EXPMASK on SH-4A parts.
This implements EXPMASK initialization code for SH-4A parts, where it is
possible to disable compat features that will go away in newer cores.
Presently this includes disabling support for non-nop instructions in the
rte delay slot, as well as a sleep instruction being placed in a delay
slot (neither of which the kernel does any longer). As a result of this,
any future offenders will have illegal slot exceptions generated for
them.
Associative writes for the memory-mapped cache array are still left
enabled, until such a point that special cache operations for SH-4A are
provided to move off of the current (and rather dated) SH-4 versions.
