3ebedbb2fd ARC: Increase readability of entry handlers
* use artificial PUSH/POP contructs for CORE Reg save/restore to stack
* use artificial PUSHAX/POPAX contructs for Auxiliary Space regs
* macro'ize multiple copies of callee-reg-save/restore (SAVE_R13_TO_R24)
* use BIC insn for inverse-and operation

16f9afe651 ARC: pt_regs update #3: Remove unused gutter at start of callee_regs
This is trickier than prev two:

* context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of
  struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height
  of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word.

* Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel
  stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too.

ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from
user_regs_struct.

283237a04f ARC: pt_regs update #1: Align pt_regs end with end of kernel stack page
Historically, pt_regs would end at offset of 1 word from end of stack
page.

        -----------------  -> START of page (task->stack)
        |               |
        | thread_info   |
        -----------------
        |               |
   ^    ~               ~
   |    ~               ~
   |    |               |
   |    |               | <---- pt_regs used to END here
        -----------------
        | 1 word GUTTER |
        ----------------- -> End of page (START of kernel stack)

This required special "one-off" considerations in low level code.

The root cause is very likely assumption of "empty" SP by the original
ARC kernel hackers, despite ARC700 always been "full" SP.

So finally RIP one word gutter !

fa35e42a00 arc: Use generic idle loop
The generic idle loop implements all functionality. Aside of that it
allows arc to implement the tsk_is_polling() functionality correctly,
despite the patently (now gone) comment in the original arc cpu_idle()
function:
/* Since we SLEEP in idle loop, TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG can't be set */
See kernel/cpu/idle.c

17139053eb ARC: Fixup the current ABI version
The upstream kernel ABI (v3) is different from current out-of-tree (v2):
* no-legacy-syscalls
* user_regs_struct layout has changed

So we rev up the ABI version
