This patch implements a fast entry for syscalls. Syscalls don't have to preserve non volatile registers except LR. This patch then implement a fast entry for syscalls, where volatile registers get clobbered. As this entry is dedicated to syscall it always sets MSR_EE and warns in case MSR_EE was previously off It also assumes that the call is always from user, system calls are unexpected from kernel. The overall series improves null_syscall selftest by 12,5% on an 83xx and by 17% on a 8xx.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
