Remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag for all processor architectures.  The
flag was not used excecpt on IA-64 where the patch replaces it with
TIF_PERFMON_WORK.

get_irqnr_preamble allows machines to take some action before entering the
get_irqnr_and_base loop.  On iop we enable cp6 access.

arch_ret_to_user is added to the userspace return path to allow individual
architectures to take actions, like disabling coprocessor access, before
the final return to userspace.

Per Nicolas Pitre's note, there is no need to cp_wait on the return to user
as the latency to return is sufficient.

RETINSTR is a left-over from the days when we had 26-bit and
32-bit CPU support integrated into the same tree.  Since this
is no longer the case, we can now remove RETINSTR.

<title>[ARM] 3335/1: Old-abi Thumb sys_syscall broken</title>

Patch from Paul Brook

The old-abi sys_syscall syscall is broken when called from Thumb mode. It
assumes the syscall number is an Arm syscall number (ie. starts from
__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE).  In thumb mode syscall numbers start from zero.

The patch below fixes this by clearing the nigh bits of the syscall number
instead of inverting them. Technically this means we accept some invalid
syscall numbers, but I can't see how that could be a problem. The two sets of
numbers far apart that unimplemented syscalls should still be rejected.

<title>[ARM] safer handling of syscall table padding</title>

ARM entry-common.S needs to know syscall table size; in itself that would
not be a problem, but there's an additional constraint - some of the
instructions using it want a constant that would be a multiple of 4.
So we have to pad syscall table with sys_ni_syscall and that's where
the trouble begins.  .rept pseudo-op wants a constant expression for
number of repetitions and subtraction of two labels (before and after
syscall table) doesn't always get simplified to constant early enough
for .rept.  If labels end up in different frags, we lose.  And while
the frag size is large enough (slightly below 4Kb), the syscall table
is about 1/3 of that.  We used to get away with that, but the recent
changes had been enough to trigger the breakage.

Proper fix is simple: have a macro (CALL(x)) to populate the table
instead of using explicit .long x and the first time we include calls.S
have it defined to .equ NR_syscalls,NR_syscalls+1.  Then we can find
the proper amount of padding on the first inclusion simply by looking
at NR_syscalls at that time.  And that will be constant, no matter what.

Moreover, the same trick kills the need of having an estimate of padded
NR_syscalls - it will be calculated for free at the same time.

This is needed by strace to properly handle the tracing of some system
calls. It could be useful for other applications as well.

Based on an earlier patch from Daniel Jacobowitz.

  sys_stat64
  sys_lstat64
  sys_fstat64
  sys_fcntl64
  sys_epoll_ctl
  sys_epoll_wait
  sys_ipc
  sys_semop

struct statfs64 has extra padding with EABI growing its size from 84 to
88. This struct is now __attribute__((packed,aligned(4))) with a small
assembly wrapper to force the sz argument to 84 if it is 88 to avoid
copying the extra padding over user space memory unexpecting it.
