The motivation is eventual ABI considerations for ARCv3 but even without
it this change us worthwhile as diffstat reduces 100 net lines
r25 is a callee saved register, normally not saved by entry code in
pt_regs. However because of its usage in CONFIG_ARC_CURR_IN_REG it needs
to be. This in turn requires a whole bunch of special casing when we
need to access r25. Then there is distinction between user mode r25 vs.
kernel mode r25 - hence distinct SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL}
Instead use gp which is a scratch register and thus saved already in entry
code. This cleans things up significantly and much nocer on eyes:
- SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL} are now exactly same
- no special user_r25 slot in pt_reggs
Note that typical global asm registers are callee-saved (r25), but gp is
not callee-saved thus needs additional -ffixed-<reg> toggle
