This is a preparatory patch for change in "struct pt_regs"
handling in entry_64.S.
trace_hardirqs thunks were (ab)using a part of pt_regs
handling code, namely SAVE_ARGS/RESTORE_ARGS macros,
to save/restore registers across C function calls.
Since SAVE_ARGS is going to be changed, open-code
regis
No code changes.
This is a preparatory patch for change in "struct pt_regs" handling.

This is the first part of a bigger patch set I posted last August,
then under title of "x86: entry.S optimizations".
I fully rebased that patch set to Linus tree, but currently

Adds a new set of functions to deal with scatter gather.
ubi_eba_read_leb_sg() will read from a LEB into a scatter gather list.
The new data structure struct ubi_sgl will be used within UBI to
hold the scatter gather list itself and metadata to have a cursor
within the list.

Convert the driver to blk-mq.
Beside of moving to the modern block interface this change boosts
also the performance of the driver.

When drivers are compiled in subdirectories the -DDEBUG flag need
to be passed in the individual Makefiles.
