And for ARcompact variant replace the PUSH/POP macros with gas provided
push/pop pseudo-instructions

This allows ISA specific implementation

e.g. Current ARCv2 PUSH/POP could be replaced with STD/LDL to save 2
registers at a time (w/o bothering with SP update each time) or
perhaps use ENTER_S/LEAVE_S to reduce code size

For ARCv3 ABI changed so callee regs are now r14-r26 (vs. r13-r25)
thus would need a different implementation.

THe high level structure of most ARC exception handlers is
 1. save regfile with EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE
 2. setup r0: EFA (not part of pt_regs)
 3. setup r1: pointer to pt_regs (SP)
 4. drop down to pure kernel mode (from exception)
 5. call the Linux "C" handler

Remove the boiler plate code by moving #2, #3, #4 into #1.

The exceptions to most exceptions are syscall Trap and Machine check
which don't do some of above for various reasons, so call a newly
introduced variant EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE_KEEP_AE (same as original
EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE)

<title>ARC: entry: use gp to cache task pointer (vs. r25)</title>

<content type='text'>
The motivation is eventual ABI considerations for ARCv3 but even without
it this change us worthwhile as diffstat reduces 100 net lines

r25 is a callee saved register, normally not saved by entry code in
pt_regs. However because of its usage in CONFIG_ARC_CURR_IN_REG it needs
to be. This in turn requires a whole bunch of special casing when we
need to access r25. Then there is distinction between user mode r25 vs.
kernel mode r25 - hence distinct SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL}

Instead use gp which is a scratch register and thus saved already in entry
code. This cleans things up significantly and much nocer on eyes:

 - SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL} are now exactly same
 - no special user_r25 slot in pt_reggs

Note that typical global asm registers are callee-saved (r25), but gp is
not callee-saved thus needs additional -ffixed-&lt;reg&gt; toggle

<title>ARC: mm: use SCRATCH_DATA0 register for caching pgdir in ARCv2 only</title>

MMU SCRATCH_DATA0 register is intended to cache task pgd. However in
ARC700 SMP port, it has to be repurposed for re-entrant interrupt
handling, while UP port doesn't. We currently handle these use-cases
using a fabricated #define which has usual issues of dependency nesting
and obvious ugliness.

So clean this up: for ARC700 don't use to cache pgd (even in UP) and do
the opposite for ARCv2.

And while here, switch to canonical pgd_offset().

ARC700 exception (and intr handling) didn't have auto stack switching
thus had to rely on stashing a reg temporarily (to free it up) at a
known place in memory, allowing to code up the low level stack switching.
This however was not re-entrant in SMP which thus had to repurpose the
per-cpu MMU SCRATCH DATA register otherwise used to "cache" the task pdg
pointer (vs. reading it from mm struct)

The newer HS cores do have auto-stack switching and thus even SMP builds
can use the MMU SCRATCH reg as originally intended.

This patch fixes the restriction to ARC700 SMP builds only
