msm: cpufreq: increase priority of thread that increases frequencies

When the cpufreq governors request for increase in frequency from kworker
threads, there is chance that the kworker thread is cpu starved due to
other high priority threads, leading to undesirable increase in frequency
ramp-up latency. Add the calling thread to SCHED_FIFO policy when
requesting for increase in frequency and restore back to original policy
after ramp-up is completed.

msm: event_timer: Support to add event timers.

Add support to allow drivers to specify future events
that need to be treated as hard deadlines. Upon event timer
expiry the driver will be notified by callback function
that the driver provides.
The pm code can query the earliest event and modify
the event timer accounting for the back off based on the
latency of the low power mode being entered.

ARM: 7927/1: dcache: select DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS for big-endian CPUs

With commit 11ec50caedb5 ("word-at-a-time: provide generic big-endian
zero_bytemask implementation"), the asm-generic word-at-a-time code now
provides a zero_bytemask implementation, allowing us to make use of
DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS on big-endian CPUs, providing our
load_unaligned_zeropad function is endianness-clean.

This patch reworks the load_unaligned_zeropad fixup code to work for
both big- and little-endian CPUs, then removes the !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN check
when selecting DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

lib/lzo: Update LZO compression to current upstream version

This commit updates the kernel LZO code to the current upsteam version
which features a significant speed improvement - benchmarking the Calgary
and Silesia test corpora typically shows a doubled performance in
both compression and decompression on modern i386/x86_64/powerpc machines.

lib/memcopy: use glibc version

the kernel's memcpy and memmove is very inefficient. But the glibc version is
quite fast, in some cases it is 10 times faster than the kernel version. So I
introduce some memory copy macros and functions of the glibc to improve the
kernel version's performance.

The strategy of the memory functions is:
1. Copy bytes until the destination pointer is aligned.
2. Copy words in unrolled loops.  If the source and destination are not
   aligned in the same way, use word memory operations, but shift and merge
   two read words before writing.
3. Copy the few remaining bytes.
