Preserve eflags and gpa1 aux during entry/exit into kernel as these
could be modified by kernel mode
These registers used by compare exchange instructions.
- GPA1 is used for compare value,
- EFLAGS got bit reflects atomic operation response.
EFLAGS is zeroed for each new user task so it won't get its
parent value.

With generic "identity" num of CPUs is limited to 256 (8 bit).
We use our alternative AUX register GLOBAL_ID (12 bit).
Now we can support up to 4096 CPUs.

The requirement is to
- Reenable Exceptions (AE cleared)
- Reenable Interrupts (E1/E2 set)
We need to do wiggle these bits into ERSTATUS and call RTIE.
Prev version used the pre-exception STATUS32 as starting point for what
goes into ERSTATUS. This required explicit fixups of U/DE/L bits.
Instead, use the current (in-exception) STATUS32 as starting point.
Being in exception handler U/DE/L can be safely assumed to be correct.
Only AE/E1/E2 need to be fixed.
So the new implementation is slightly better
-Avoids read form memory
-Is 4 bytes smaller for the typical 1 level of intr configuration
-Depicts the semantics more clearly

Previously this macro was overloaded with stack switching, saving SP at right
slot in pt_regs, saving/setup of r25 and setting SP baseline to where
pt_regs->sp is saved (vs. bottom of pt_regs)
Now it only does SP switch, and leaves SP pointing to bottom of pt_regs.
r25 saving is no longer done here to allow for future reordering of
regfile in pt_regs w/o touching this macro

Elide the need to re-read ECR in Trap handler by ensuring that
EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE does that at the very end just before returning
to Trap handler
ARCv2 EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE already did that, so same for ARcompact and the
common trap handler adjusted to use cached ECR
