MIPS: Store core & VP IDs in GlobalNumber-style variable
This patch modifies the way we store core & VP IDs such that we store them in a single 32 bit integer whose format matches that of the MIPSr6 GlobalNumber register. Whereas we have previously stored core & VP IDs in separate fields, storing them in a single GlobalNumber-like field: 1) Reduces the size of struct cpuinfo_mips by 4 bytes, and will allow it to not grow when cluster support is added. 2) Gives us a natural place to store cluster number, which matches up with what the architecture provides. 3) Will be useful in the future as a parameter to the MIPSr6 GINVI instruction to specify a target CPU whose icache that instruction should operate on. The cpu_set*() accessor functions are moved out of the asm/cpu-info.h header in order to allow them to use the WARN_ON macro, which is unusable in asm/cpu-info.h due to include ordering.
