If the code were already aligned to 64 bytes, wr instruction would be executed
twice --- once in delay slot and once in the jump target.

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.

It writes the %pic register, keeping mind of processor bugs.
Implement reset_pic() in terms of it.

In these instructions we load the new thread register, switch
the register window, and setup the new frame pointer.
All of these must appear atomic, and things will explode if
we take a PIL=15 NMI interrupt in the middle of this sequence.

The kernel always executes in the TSO memory model now,
so none of this stuff is necessary any more.

While doing some easy cleanups on the sparc code I noticed that the
CONFIG_SUN4 code seems to be worse than the rest - there were some
"I don't know how it should work, but the current code definitely cannot
work." places.
And while I have seen people running Linux on machines like a
SPARCstation 5 a few years ago I don't recall having seen sun4
machines, even less ones running Linux.

The majority of this patch was created by the following script:
***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***
The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
