Subject: [RFC,v2] x86_64: save_args out of line

The macro "interrupt" in entry_64.S generates a lot of code and it
is used more and more often. This patch moves most of its contents
into an external function. This saves anywhere between 500 and 2500
bytes of text depending on the configuration.

Dwarf2-annotations are most probably wrong or missing at all.

v2 moves adjusting the stack to the caller. This avoids the ugly
shuffle to handle the position of the return address on the stack.

After this patch, a typical handler looks like this:

<thermal_interrupt>:
68 05 ff ff ff  pushq  $0xffffffffffffff05
48 83 ec 50     sub    $0x50,%rsp
e8 72 f4 ff ff  callq  ffffffff80211260 <save_args>
e8 ec 08 00 00  callq  ffffffff802126df <smp_thermal_inter_interrupt>
e9 16 fd ff ff  jmpq   ffffffff80211b0e <ret_from_intr>
0f 1f 84 00 00  nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
00 00 00 

I think this approach (v2) is much cleaner than using the same
strategy as for the exception handlers, where the address of
the C-handler is passed to a common entry point which makes
an indirect call to the handler.

<coprocessor_error>:
ff 15 f2 71 1c  callq  *0x1c71f2(%rip)     # <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
00
6a 00           pushq  $0x0
50              push   %rax
48 8d 05 d9 11  lea    0x11d9(%rip),%rax   # <do_coprocessor_error>
00 00 
e9 4b 99 0f 00  jmpq   ffffffff8030bbb0 <error_entry>
66 66 2e 0f 1f  nopw   %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
84 00 00 00 00 00 

The advantage of _this_ way of doing things is that the stubs can
probably be made to fit in 16 bytes, but it comes at the cost of
doing an unnecessary indirect call.

Hi all,

I just want to give this one more shot ;). Comments?

This patch is on top of tip/x86/cleanups and contains some left-over
whitespace changes.

Greetings,
    Alexander
