Optimize away the unconditional write to debug registers on signal delivery
path.  This is already done on x86_64.

We only need to write to dr7 if there is a breakpoint to re-enable, and 
MOVDR is a serializing instruction, which is expensive.  Getting rid of 
it gets a 33% faster signal delivery path (at least on Xeon - I didn't
test other CPUs, so your gain may vary).

[ Editors note: it's likely only that slow on Netburst.  Serializing is
  not that expensive, but it is likely that writing to %db7 invalidates
  the trace cache, which explains why it's so slow on Xeon - it's not
  just the op itself, it has to re-populate the cache all the time.
					--- Linus ]


Measured delta TSC for three paths on a 2.4GHz Xeon.

1) With unconditional write to dr7 :  800-1000 cycles
2) With conditional write to dr7   :  84-112 cycles
3) With unlikely write to dr7      :  84 cycles

Performance test using divzero microbenchmark (3 million divide by zeros):

With unconditional write:
   7.445 real / 6.136 system
   7.529 real / 6.482 system
   7.541 real / 5.974 system
   7.546 real / 6.217 system
   7.445 real / 6.167 system

With unlikely write:
   5.779 real / 4.518 system
   5.783 real / 4.591 system
   5.552 real / 4.569 system
   5.790 real / 4.528 system
   5.554 real / 4.382 system

That's about a 33% speedup - more than I expected; apparently getting rid
of the serializing instruction makes the do_signal path much faster.

In general it is not safe to do any non-ptrace wakeup of a thread in
TASK_TRACED, because the waking thread could race with a ptrace call
that could be doing things like mucking directly with its kernel stack. 

AFAIK noone has established that whatever clobberation ptrace can do to
a running thread is safe even if it will never return to user mode, so
we can't allow this even for SIGKILL.

What we _can_ safely do is make a thread switching out of TASK_TRACED
resume rather than sitting in TASK_STOPPED if it has a pending SIGKILL
or SIGCONT.  The following patch does this.

This should be sufficient for the shutdown case.  When killing all
processes, if the tracer gets killed first, the tracee goes into
TASK_STOPPED and will be woken and killed by the SIGKILL (same as
before).  If the tracee gets killed first, it gets a pending SIGKILL and
doesn't wake up immediately--but, now, when the tracer gets killed, the
tracee will then wake up to die. 

This will also fix the (same) situations that can arise now where you
have used gdb (or whatever ptrace caller), killed -9 the gdb and the
process being debugged, but still have to kill -CONT the process before
it goes away (now it should just go away either the first time or when
you kill gdb).

The ppc64 PCI code, when parsing the OF tree, may end up getting empty
regions in addition to the "normal" ones for the PHB (some pSeries OF
device-tree contains weird "ranges" properties). These are harmless but
do trigger some annoying warnings during boot, so let's ignore them.

Actually, I think we've caught your crash now.  If that code path
is triggering at all, then it'll trigger with TSO packets too.  If
we get a truly partial ack on a TSO packet, then tcp_tso_acked will
not trim it off.  So we will fall through to this last-ditch trim
call, which doesn't update packets_out.

There are two solutions to this problem.  I've taken the simpler
approach for now.  We simply trim off the partial bits in tcp_tso_acked
and live with the fact that the packet counters may differ from
what's on the netwrok by one.

Later on we can 'fix' this by remembering where the original TSO
packet started from, perhaps in skb->h or somewhere.  Dave, is this
worth it?

- recode back-to-back fwd_rnd() pairs to avoid two register moves.

- ditto for inv_rnd().

- optimize out lea 0(%ebp),%ebp

- remove two stray insns

# size aes-i586-asm.o.org aes-i586-asm.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5971       0       0    5971    1753 aes-i586-asm.o.org
   5905       0       0    5905    1711 aes-i586-asm.o

Overall, patch does not add and does not modify any insns, only removes a
handful of them.  However, speed difference is way below noise level.

Run-tested with tcrypt module.
