!GPRS config: fix long-standing AT+COPS chance hanging bug There has been a long-standing bug in FreeCalypso going back years: sometimes in the AT command bring-up sequence of an ACI-only MS, the AT+COPS command would produce only a power scan followed by cessation of protocol stack activity (only L1 ADC traces), instead of the expected network search sequence. This behaviour was seen in different FC firmware versions going back to Citrine, and seemed to follow some law of chance, not reliably repeatable. This bug has been tracked down and found to be specific to !GPRS configuration, stemming from our TCS2/TCS3 hybrid and reconstruction of !GPRS support that was bitrotten in TCS3.2/LoCosto version. ACI module psa_mms.c, needed only for !GPRS, was missing in the TCS3 version and had to be pulled from TCS2 - but as it turns out, there is a new field in the MMR_REG_REQ primitive that needs to be set correctly, and that psa_mms.c module is the place where this initialization needed to be added.

/*
 * Thanks to TI for discovering and documenting this apparent ARM7TDMI bug:

BUG correction 1st part -------------------
It looks like there is an issue with ARM7 IRQ masking in the CPSR register
which leads to crashes in Nucleus+ scheduler.
Basically the code below  (correct as LOCKOUT = 0xC0) is used in many places by N+ but do not 
prevent from having an interrupt after the execution of the third line (I mean execution, not 
fetch).
        MRS     a1,CPSR                     ; Pickup current CPSR
        ORR     a1,a1,#LOCKOUT              ; Build interrupt lockout value
        MSR     CPSR,a1                     ; Lockout interrupts
       * IRQ INTERRUPT ! *
       Next instructions...

SW workaround:
When a task is interrupted at this point an interrupted context is stored on its task and will 
be resumed later on at the next instruction but to make a long story short it leads to some 
problem as the OS does not expect to be interrupted there.
Further testing tends to show that the CPSR *seems* to be loaded with the proper masking value 
but that the IRQ is still triggered (has been hardwarewise requested during the instruction 
exectution by the ARM7 core?)
