[PATCH 00/28] powerpc/64s interrupt handler cleanups, gasification

This is another revision of the previous series rebased to upstream,
fixes, additions, and more testing.

Code changes were tested mostly with ppc64le_defconfig config, diffing
head_64.o from each build.

Most patches cause no changes to generated code, though a few at the
end make significant changes. The bad_stack change in particular is
quite significant, it helps enable future series which goes further in
rewriting interrupt handler code, so I include it here, would be nice
to get out of the way.

Results are best judged by looking at the final result. There is still
some way to go, but at least now almost everything required to explain
exception code generation is contained in one file, and usually only a
couple of layers of macro deep.

Thanks,
Nick
