Move down __kernel_syscall_via_epc to the end of the page.
We want to paravirtualize only __kernel_syscall_via_epc because
it includes privileged instructions. Its paravirtualization increases
its symbols size.

On the other hand, each paravirtualized gate must have e symbols of
same value and size to native's because the page is mapped to GATE_ADDR
and GATE_ADDR + PERCPU_PAGE_SIZE and vmlinux is linked to those symbols.
Later to have the same symbol size, we pads NOPs at the end of
__kernel_syscall_via_epc. Move it after other functions to keep
symbols of other functions have same values and sizes.

SDM says that brl instruction must be followed by a stop bit.
Fix instance in BRL_COND_FSYS_BUBBLE_DOWN where it isn't.

Two other very minor changes: use "mov.i" instead of "mov" for reading
ar.pfs (for clarity; doesn't affect the code at all).  Also, predicate
the load of r14 for consistency.

Avoid some stalls, which is good for about 2 cycles when invoking a
light-weight handler.  When invoking a heavy-weight handler, this
helps by about 7 cycles, with most of the improvement coming from the
improved branch-prediction achieved by splitting the BBB bundle into
two MIB bundles.
