Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/5] x86/entry/64: move PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS from interrupt macro to helper function

The PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro is able to insert the GP registers
"above" the original return address. This allows us to move a sizeable
part of the interrupt entry macro to an interrupt entry helper function:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  21088	      0	      0	  21088	   5260	entry_64.o-orig
  18006	      0	      0	  18006	   4656	entry_64.o

Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
