The original implementation could clobber registers under certain conditions.
The Xtensa processor architecture uses windowed registers and the original
implementation was using a4 as a temporary register, which under certain
conditions could be register a0 of the oldest window frame, and didn't always
restore the content correctly.
By moving the _spill_registers routine inside the fast system call, it frees
up one more register (the return address is not required anymore) for the
spill routine.

Based on the SMP patch by Joe Taylor and subsequent fixes.
Preserve exception table pointer (normally stored in excsave1 SR) as it
cannot be easily restored in SMP environment.

IRQ handlers are expected to run with IRQs disabled.
See e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/380931/ for a longer story.
This was overlooked in the commit
2d1c645 xtensa: dispatch medium-priority interrupts
Revert to old behavior and simplify interrupt entry and exit code.
Interrupt handler still honours IRQ priority.
do_notify_resume/schedule must be called with interrupts enabled, enable
interrupts if we return from user exception.

Add support for dispatching medium-priority interrupts, that is,
interrupts of priority levels 2 to EXCM_LEVEL. IRQ handling may be
preempted by higher priority IRQ.

Manually load references to exc_table from the explicit literal in order
to fit DoubleExceptionVector.literals into the available 16-byte gap
before DoubleExceptionVector.text in the absence of link time
relaxation. Without this fix DoubleExceptionVector.literal section
overlaps DoubleExceptionVector.text section in the linked vmlinux image.

- reference SRs by names where possible, not by numbers;
- get rid of __stringify around SR names where possible;
- remove unneeded SR names from asm/regs.h;
- add SREG_ prefix to remaining SR names;

The Xtensa port contained many header files that were never needed. This
rather lengthy patch removes all those files. Unfortunately, there were
many dependencies that needed to be updated, so this patch touches quite a
few source files.
