MIPS Jelly Bean Release 4.1.1

Known issues:

1. The emulator runs a bit slower than ICS releases as the fast-tlb patch got reverted. There is work going on to stabilize this patch.   One can download the latest patch in external/qemu and dev-mips-jb branch to download the fast-tlb patch. With this patch, the emulator might crash occassionally.

external/qemu/:

[MIPS] Speed up software refill handler

Emulating each instruction of the software refill handler has a significant impact on the overall performance of QEMU
because of the overhead of emulating the various CP0 instructions to accurately reflect the machine state. Running
the software TLB handler takes the equivalent of 1000′s of machine cycles.

This patch implements a pseudo hardware TLB refill handler that significantly reduces the impact of refilling the
TLB to bring it more inline with what would be observed on a real target.

2. Two other patches which did not make it to this release are in dalvik and bionic repositories and dev-mips-jb branch.
