MIPS: mipsregs.h: Make read_c0_prid use const accessor
Make read_c0_prid() use the new constant accessor macros so that it can
potentially be optimised or removed by the compiler. This is
particularly important under virtualisation, where even with hardware
assisted virtualisation (VZ), access to the PRid register may need to be
emulated by the hypervisor.

In particular this helps eliminate the read of the PRid register in the
rather frequently called add_interrupt_randomness() (which calls into
arch/mips/include/asm/timex.h) when the prid is unused but the read
can't be removed due to the inline asm being marked __volatile__.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
