I have tested that this builds and the resulting program still work.
This was tested on gcc23.fsffrance.org, and for some reason the vdso
there seems unused even when using shared libraries.

Fix a commit cc25c8b4c1 ("New pthread rwlock that is more scalable.")
regression and prevent uncontrolled stack space usage from happening
when a 5-, 6- or 7-argument syscall wrapper is placed in a loop.
The cause of the problem is the use of `alloca' in regular MIPS/Linux
wrappers to force the use of the frame pointer register in any function
using one or more of these wrappers. Using the frame pointer register
is required so as not to break frame unwinding as the the stack pointer
is lowered within the inline asm used by these wrappers to make room for
the stack arguments, which 5-, 6- and 7-argument syscalls use with the
o32 ABI.
The regular MIPS/Linux wrappers are macros however, expanded inline, and
stack allocations made with `alloca' are not discarded until the return
of the function they are made in. Consequently if called in a loop,
then virtual memory is wasted, and if the loop goes through enough
iterations, then ultimately available memory can get exhausted causing
the program to crash.
Address the issue by replacing the inline code with standalone assembly
functions, which rely on the compiler arranging syscall arguments
according to the o32 function calling convention, which MIPS/Linux
syscalls also use, except for the syscall number passed and the error
flag returned. This way there is no need to fiddle with the stack
pointer anymore and all that has to be handled in the new standalone
functions is the special handling of the syscall number and the error
flag.
Redirect 5-, 6- or 7-argument MIPS16/Linux syscall wrappers to these new
functions as well, so as to avoid an unnecessary double call the
existing wrappers would cause with the new arrangement.

This patch adds support for using the implementations of gettimeofday()
and clock_gettime() provided by the kernel in the VDSO. The VDSO will
always provide clock_gettime() as CLOCK_{REALTIME,MONOTONIC}_COARSE can
be implemented regardless of platform. CLOCK_{REALTIME,MONOTONIC}, along
with gettimeofday(), are only implemented on platforms which make use of
either the CP0 count or GIC as their clocksource. On other platforms,
the VDSO does not provide the __vdso_gettimeofday symbol, as it is
never useful.
The VDSO functions return ENOSYS when they encounter an unsupported
request, in which case glibc should fall back to the standard syscall.
Tested with upstream kernel 4.5 and QEMU emulating Malta.

Carlos noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-05/msg00680.html> that
various ports use potentially problematic short variables names in
their syscall macros, which could shadow variables with the same name
from containing scopes.
This patch fixes variables called err and ret in MIPS macros. (I left
result_var and _sys_result - separate variables in different macros,
which need separate names - alone.)
Tested for mips64 (all three ABIs) that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by this patch.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/sysdep.h (INLINE_SYSCALL):

instead of ret.

I've moved the MIPS port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply
git mv ports/sysdeps/mips sysdeps/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/mips sysdeps/unix/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips
and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.mips similar to those in other files.
Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for mips is the
same before and after this patch (except for ld.so where paths in
assertions are involved, as for arm).
