'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed.  It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.

Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.

As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.

This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()).  All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

After the recent FPU optimisation commit the signature of save_fpu()
changed. "regs" wasn't used in the implementation of save_fpu() anyway.

Many of these symbols went away completely, or we just never cared about
them in the first place. Trim the exports down to the essential set.

<content type='text'>
This consolidates all of the NEFF-based sign extension for SH-5.
In the future the other SH code will need to make use of this as well,
so make it generic in preparation for more 32/64 consolidation.

arch/sh has a couple of stray markers without any users introduced
in commit 3d58695edbfac785161bf282dc11fd42a483d6c9.  Remove them in
preparation of removing the markers in favour of the TRACE_EVENT
macro (and also because we don't keep dead code around).

This converts the sh64 /proc/asids entry to debugfs and enables it for
all SH parts that have debugfs enabled.

On MMU systems this can be used to determine which processes are using
which ASIDs which in turn can be used for finer grained cache tag
analysis.
