    ia64: do not typedef struct pal_min_state_area_s · 2770ef7c

      Please don't use things like ``vps_t``.
      It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.
    
    This commit converts as follows:
    
      struct pal_min_state_area_s  ->  struct pal_min_state_area
             pal_min_state_area_t  ->  struct pal_min_state_area
    
    My main motivation for this is to slim down the include directives
    of <asm/mca.h> in the next commit.
    
    Currently, <asm/mca.h> is required to include <asm/pal.h> directly
    or indirectly due to (pal_min_state_area_t *). Otherwise, it would
    have no idea what pal_min_state_area_t is.
    
    Replacing it with (struct pal_min_state_area *) will relax the header
    dependency since it is enough to tell it is a pointer to a structure,
    and to resolve the size of struct pal_min_state_area. It will make
    <asm/mca.h> independent of <asm/pal.h>.
    
    <asm/pal.h> typedef's a lot of structures, but it is trivial to
    convert the others in the same way.
