The notable features are:
    - SMP configurations of upto 4 cores with coherency
    - Optional L2 Cache and IO-Coherency
    - Revised Interrupt Architecture (multiple priorites, reg banks,
        auto stack switch, auto regfile save/restore)
    - MMUv4 (PIPT dcache, Huge Pages)
    - Instructions for
	* 64bit load/store: LDD, STD
	* Hardware assisted divide/remainder: DIV, REM
	* Function prologue/epilogue: ENTER_S, LEAVE_S
	* IRQ enable/disable: CLRI, SETI
	* pop count: FFS, FLS
	* SETcc, BMSKN, XBFU...

As execution domain support is gone we can remove
signal translation from the signal code and remove
exec_domain from thread_info.

<title>all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct</title>

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.
