The rest of 8390 conversions; ifdef cascade in 8390.h is gone now.

more 8390 conversions - mac8390, zorro8390 and hydra got the same treatment
as arm etherh; one more case in 8390.h ifdef cascade is gone.

etherh and a handful of other odd drivers use different macros when building
8390.c. Since we generate a single 8390.o and then link with it, in any
config with both oddball and normal 8390-based driver we will end up with
breakage in at least one of them. Solution: take most of 8390.c into
lib8390.c and have 8390.c, etherh.c and the rest of oddballs #include it.
Helper macros are taken from 8390.h to whoever includes lib8390.c. That
way odd drivers get separate instances of compiled 8390 stuff and stop
stepping on each other's toes. 8390.h gets cleaned up - we don't have
the cascade of ifdefs in there and are left with the stuff that can be
used by any 8390-based driver. Current problems are exactly because of
that cascade - we attempt to choose the set of helpers by looking at config
and that, of course, doesn't work well when we have several sets needed
by various drivers in our config.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

Don't bother testing for CONFIG_NET_CBUS ("NEC PC-9800 C-bus cards"); it went
out with the rest of PC98 subarch.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
