Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ia64: make use of new extable.h header

We forked the exception table content out of module.h into a new
extable.h file[1].  We temporarily include extable.h into the module.h
itself.  Now we work our way across the arch independent and arch
specific files needing just exception table content, and move them
off module.h and onto extable.h

Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h and in
doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures into the git
history.

Here we move ia64 onto using the new header, and in doing so also
macro-ize something in uaccess.h to make it more consistent with
the rest of that file.

Paul.
