[OE-core] [OE-Core][PATCH 0/9] Add MIPS release 6 ISA support

[Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel]

Hi,

This patch series adds support for MIPS Release 6 ISA.

A few key points to note are:

1 - The tuples have changed for Multiarch. For details, check 
    https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Tuples

2 - Dynamic linker loader name has changed.
    ld.so.1 -> ld-linux-mipsn8.so.1
    For details, check
    https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/ABIList#mips

I tested this using poky, krogoth-15.0.1, yocto-2.1.1 + various patches.
Most notable patches were adding support for Linux kernel 4.8 and using
4.8 headers. Preferred using 4.8 as there was a quirk in glibc + nan2008
that preferred 4.5+.

Build + qemu boot tested for little endian variations.

Regards,
ZubairLK
