Device specific ISA support in AVR

["S, Pitchumani" <Pitchumani dot S at atmel dot com>]

Hi,

Few AVR Xmega devices have specific instruction support than the architecture
it belongs to. For example atxmega128b1 device has RMW instructions (XCH,LAC,
LAS and LAT) support, but not all avrxmega6 devices have.

Now, avr-gcc passes architecture name to assembler instead of device name. So,
RMW instructions are not recognized (illegal opcode error) by assembler.

To address this issue, we could add device specific ISA to device details 
in GCC. Driver can pass additional option based on specific ISA that a device
has. Assembler can add device specific ISA to architecture ISA based on the
option it receives.

I have attached patches for avr-gcc and avr-as to address this issue.

device-specific-isa-avr-gcc.patch:
* Device specific ISA information is added to device details. 
* avr-gcc passes -mrmw option to assembler if the selected device
has RMW instruction support.

device-specific-isa-avr-as.patch:
* Add option -mrmw.
* Add AVR_ISA_RMW to current architecture ISA if -mrmw option specified.

Please review the patches and comment.

Thanks,
Pitchumani
