Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/8xx: use SPRN_EIE and SPRN_EID to enable/disable
 interrupts

The 8xx has two special registers called EID (External Interrupt
Disable) and EIE (External Interrupt Enable) for clearing/setting
EE in MSR. It avoids the three instructions set mfmsr/ori/mtmsr or
mfmsr/rlwinm/mtmsr and it avoids using a general register.

We just have to write something in the special register to change MSR EE
bit. So we write r0 into the register, regardless of r0 value.

Writing to one of those two special registers also set the MSR RI bit,
but this bit is only unset during beginning of exception prolog and end
of exception epilog. When executing C-functions MSR RI is always set.

Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>

 v2: removed definition of SPRN_NRI which is not used. Enhanced the
     commit text. Moved down the SPRN_EIE and SPRN_EID definition to
     keep this patch independant of the hugepage patch I'm working on.
