<title>x86-64: Fix CFI data for interrupt frames</title>

<content type='text'>
The patch titled "x86: Don't use frame pointer to save old stack
on irq entry" did not properly adjust CFI directives, so this
patch is a follow-up to that one.

With the old stack pointer no longer stored in a callee-saved
register (plus some offset), we now have to use a CFA expression
to describe the memory location where it is being found. This
requires the use of .cfi_escape (allowing arbitrary byte streams
to be emitted into .eh_frame), as there is no
.cfi_def_cfa_expression (which also cannot reasonably be
expected, as it would require a full expression parser).

hope that the code becomes better readable this way (it gets
quite a bit smaller in any case).

<title>x86: Use .cfi_sections for assembly code</title>

The newer assemblers support the .cfi_sections directive so we can put
the CFI from .S files into the .debug_frame section that is preserved
in unstripped vmlinux and in separate debuginfo, rather than the
.eh_frame section that is now discarded by vmlinux.lds.S.

Add 32-bit versions of the combined CFI macros, equivalent to the
64-bit ones except, obviously, operating on 32-bit stack words.

Impact: cleanup

Move recently introduced dwarf2 macros to dwarf2.h file.
It allow us to not duplicate them in assembly files.

Active usage of _cfi macros don't make assembly files
more obvious to understand but we already have a lot of
macros there which requires to search the definitions
of them *anyway*. But at least it make every cfi usage
one line shorter.

Also some code alignment is done.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
