mainlining shenanigans

Update VZ guest register & guest TLB access helpers to use the new assembly macros for parsing register names and creating custom assembly macro instructions, which has a number of advantages: - Better code can be generated on toolchains which don't support VZ, more closely matching those which do, since there is no need to bounce values via the $at register. Some differences still remain due to the inability to safely fill branch delay slots and R6 compact branch forbidden slots with explicitly encoded instructions, resulting in some extra NOPs added by the assembler. - Some code duplication between toolchains which do and don't support VZ instructions is removed, since the helpers are only implemented once. When the toolchain doesn't implement the instruction an assembly macro implements it instead. - Instruction encodings are kept together in the source. On a generic kernel with KVM VZ support enabled this change saves about 2.5KiB of kernel code when TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_VIRT=n, bringing it down to about 0.5KiB more than when TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_VIRT=y on r6, and just 68 bytes more on r2.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
