456cad8e4e sparc64: Add write_pic() helper.
It writes the %pic register, keeping mind of processor bugs.

Implement reset_pic() in terms of it.

f9aad60010 sparc64: Block NMIs in critical section of context switch.
In these instructions we load the new thread register, switch
the register window, and setup the new frame pointer.

All of these must appear atomic, and things will explode if
we take a PIL=15 NMI interrupt in the middle of this sequence.

293666b7a1 sparc64: Stop using memory barriers for atomics and locks.
The kernel always executes in the TSO memory model now,
so none of this stuff is necessary any more.

With helpful feedback from Nick Piggin.

17f04fbb0f sysctl: Use header file for sysctl knob declarations on sparc.
This also takes care of a sparse warning as scons_pwroff's definition
point.

5110bd21b8 sparc: remove CONFIG_SUN4
While doing some easy cleanups on the sparc code I noticed that the
CONFIG_SUN4 code seems to be worse than the rest - there were some
"I don't know how it should work, but the current code definitely cannot
work." places.

And while I have seen people running Linux on machines like a
SPARCstation 5 a few years ago I don't recall having seen sun4
machines, even less ones running Linux.

a439fe51a1 sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/include
The majority of this patch was created by the following script:

***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***

The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
