Impact: cleanup, no code changed
- syscalls.h update declarations due to unifications
- irq.c declare smp_generic_interrupt() before it gets used
- process.c declare sys_fork() and sys_vfork() before they get used
- tsc.c rename tsc_khz shadowed variable
- apic/probe_32.c declare apic_default before it gets used
- apic/nmi.c prev_nmi_count should be unsigned
- apic/io_apic.c declare smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() before it gets used
- mm/init.c declare direct_gbpages and free_initrd_mem before they get used

Impact: cleanup
With the recent changes in the 32-bit code to make system calls which
use struct pt_regs take a pointer, sys_rt_sigreturn() have become
identical between 32 and 64 bits, and both are empty wrappers around
do_rt_sigreturn(). Remove both wrappers and rename both to
sys_rt_sigreturn().

Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy
user register state or to modifiy it. This patch adds stubs to load
the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes
the syscalls to take the pointer as an argument instead of relying on
the assumption that the pt_regs structure overlaps the function
arguments.
Drop the use of regparm(1) due to concern about gcc bugs, and to move
in the direction of the eventual removal of regparm(0) for asmlinkage.

This reverts commit 4217458daf.
Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox
crashes.
The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.
So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.
