ebf5112ca7 ep93xx: some minor cleanups to the ep93xx eth driver
Small cleanup in the Cirrus Logic EP93xx ethernet driver: Check for NULL
pointer before dereferencing it instead of after.  Remove unreferenced
variable.

06f0015ace [PATCH] ep93xx_eth: don't report RX errors
Flooding the console with error messages for every RX FIFO overrun,
checksum error and framing error isn't very sensible.  Each of these
errors can occur during normal operation, so stop printk'ing error
messages for RX errors at all.

2d38caba5f [PATCH] ep93xx_eth: fix RX/TXstatus ring full handling
Ray Lehtiniemi reported that an incoming UDP packet flood can lock up
the ep93xx ethernet driver.  Herbert Valerio Riedel noted that due to
the way ep93xx_eth manages the RX/TXstatus rings, it cannot distinguish
a full ring from an empty one, and correctly suggested that this was
likely to be causing this lockup to occur.

Instead of looking at the hardware's RX/TXstatus ring write pointers
to determine when to stop reading from those rings, we should just check
every individual RX/TXstatus descriptor's valid bit instead, since there
is no other way to distinguish an empty ring from a full ring, and if
there is a descriptor waiting, we take the hit of reading the descriptor
from memory anyway.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
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.
