Two other very minor changes: use "mov.i" instead of "mov" for reading
ar.pfs (for clarity; doesn't affect the code at all).  Also, predicate
the load of r14 for consistency.

Avoid some stalls, which is good for about 2 cycles when invoking a
light-weight handler.  When invoking a heavy-weight handler, this
helps by about 7 cycles, with most of the improvement coming from the
improved branch-prediction achieved by splitting the BBB bundle into
two MIB bundles.

This patch reorganizes break_fault() to optimistically assume that a
system-call is being performed from user-space (which is almost always
the case).  If it turns out that (a) we're not being called due to a
system call or (b) we're being called from within the kernel, we fixup
the no-longer-valid assumptions in non_syscall() and .break_fixup(),
respectively.

With this approach, there are 3 major phases:

 - Phase 1: Read various control & application registers, in
	    particular the current task pointer from AR.K6.
 - Phase 2: Do all memory loads (load system-call entry,
	    load current_thread_info()->flags, prefetch
	    kernel register-backing store) and switch
	    to kernel register-stack.
 - Phase 3: Call ia64_syscall_setup() and invoke
	    syscall-handler.

Good for 26-30 cycles of improvement on break-based syscall-path.

Reschedule code to read ar.bsp as early as possible.  To enable this,
don't bother clearing some of the registers when we're returning to
kernel stacks.  Also, instead of trying to support the pNonSys case
(which makes no sense), do a bugcheck instead (with break 0).  Finally,
remove a clear of r14 which is a left-over from the previous patch.

Using stf8 seemed like a clever idea at the time, but stf8 forces
the cache-line to be invalidated in the L1D (if it happens to be
there already).  This patch eliminates a guaranteed L1D cache-miss
and, by itself, is good for a 1-2 cycle improvement for heavy-weight
syscalls.

Why is this a good idea?  Clearing b7 to 0 is guaranteed to do us no
good and writing it with __kernel_syscall_via_epc() yields a 6 cycle
improvement _if_ the application performs another EPC-based system-
call without overwriting b7, which is not all that uncommon.  Well
worth the minimal cost of 1 bundle of code.

Call pci_enable_device() before looking at IRQ and resources,
and pci_disable_device() when shutting the interface down.

The driver requires this fix or the "pci=routeirq" workaround
on 2.6.10 and later kernels.

This is a fix to the pgtable_quicklist code.  There is a GFP_KERNEL

if the kernel is under heavy VM pressure and the reclaim code is
invoked.  re-enable preempt before we allocate the new page.
