Document what's going on in asm/backoff.h with a large and descriptive
comment. Refer to it above the cpu_relax() definition in
asm/processor_64.h
Rename the pause patching section to have "3insn" in it's name like
the other patching sections do.
Based upon feedback from Sam Ravnborg.

In atomic backoff and cpu_relax(), use the pause instruction
found on SPARC-T4 and later.
It makes the cpu strand unselectable for the given number of
cycles, unless an intervening disrupting trap occurs.

Some of the sun4v code patching occurs in inline functions visible
to, and usable by, modules.
Therefore we have to patch them up during module load.

The generic irq support uses the term 'irq' for the
allocated irq number.
Fix it so sparc64 use the same term for an irq as the
generic irq support does.
For a naive reader this is less confusing.

People should be using the perf events interfaces, and
the way these system call facilities used the %pcr conflicts
with the usage of the NMI watchdog and perf events.

Fix following sparse warnings:
symbol 'static_irqaction' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'static_irq_count' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'irq_action_lock' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'unexpected_irq' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'handler_irq' was not declared. Should it be static?
returning void-valued expression
returning void-valued expression
returning void-valued expression
symbol 'init_IRQ' was not declared. Should it be static?
Warnings were fixed by addding proper declarations
and fixing return path of a few functions.
There remains several warnings all related to the floppy driver.

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
