293666b7a1 sparc64: Stop using memory barriers for atomics and locks.
The kernel always executes in the TSO memory model now,
so none of this stuff is necessary any more.

With helpful feedback from Nick Piggin.

64f2dde3f7 sparc64: Run the kernel always in the TSO memory model.
The fact of the matter is, all UltraSPARC-III and later chips only
implement TSO.  They don't implement PSO and RMO memory models at all.

Only the Ultra-I and Ultra-II family chips implement RMO and they are
only helped marginally by using this setting when executing kernel
code.

The big plus to doing this is that we can eliminate all of the non-Sync
memory barriers in the kernel except for the ones used in the optimized
memcpy/memset code (these use block load and store operations which
have their own memory ordering rules).

The spinlock code does not use NR_CPUS.
Compile tested using allyesconfig and allnoconfig.

a439fe51a1 sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/include
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.
