... and get rid of idiotic struct pt_regs * in asm-generic/syscalls.h
prototypes of the same, while we are at it. Eventually we want those
in linux/syscalls.h, of course, but that'll have to wait a bit.
Note that there are *three* variants of sys_clone() order of arguments.
Braindamage galore...

* no need to restore everything from switch_stack when we only need $26
* no need to pass current_pt_regs() manually, we can just as easily
calculate it in alpha_clone/alpha_vfork ($8 + constant)
* interpretation of zero usp as "use the parent's" is simpler in copy_thread();
let fork and vfork just pass 0.

incidentally, declaring a local variable as __user (!) to make
sparse STFU is really sick. Especially since sparse had been
100% right - it *is* a bug.

Pull powerpc EEH bugfixes from Benjamin Herrenschmidt.
Two one-liner fixes for the new EEH code.
* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
powerpc/eeh: Do not invalidate PE properly
powerpc/pseries: Fix oops with MSIs when missing EEH PEs
Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
"Three issues fixed accross the field:
- Some functions that were recently outlined as part of a preemption
fix were causing problems with function tracing.
- The recently merged in-kernel MPI library uses very outdated
headers that contain MIPS-specific code which won't build on with
gcc 4.4 or newer.
- The MIPS non-NUMA memory initialization was making only a very
half-baked attempt at merging adjacent memory ranges. This kept
the code simple enough but is now causing issues with kexec."
* 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus:
MPI: Fix compilation on MIPS with GCC 4.4 and newer
MIPS: Fix crash that occurs when function tracing is enabled
MIPS: Merge overlapping bootmem ranges
While the EEH does recovery on the specific PE that has PCI errors,
the PCI devices belonging to the PE will be removed and the PE will
be marked as invalid since we still need the information stored in
the PE. We only invalidate the PE when it doesn't have associated
EEH devices and valid child PEs. However, the code used to check
that is wrong. The patch fixes that.
