The purpose of this series is to implement a fast syscall entry
on ppc32.
Unlike all other exceptions which can happen at any time and
require to preserve all registers, the syscalls do not
require the preservation of volatile registers (except LR).
Syscall entries can then be optimised with lighter entry code
than the general exception handling.
In the meantime this series refactorises the exception entry on
40x/6xx/8xx as they are pretty similar, and it takes benh series
on rationalise the settings of MSR_EE at exceptions/syscall entries
as this change pretty simplies exception entries.
On a 8xx, this series improves null_syscall selftest by 17%
On a 83xx, this series improves null_syscall selftest by 12,5%
