x86: Use bitmap library functions
Use bitmap_set()/bitmap_clear() to fill/zero a region of a
bitmap instead of doing set_bit()/clear_bit() each bit.
This change has been tested with ioperm() and there's no
change in behavior.

x86-64, paravirt: Call set_iopl_mask() on 64 bits
set_iopl_mask() is a no-op on 64 bits, but it is also a paravirt hook,
so call it even on 64 bits.

x86-32: use non-lazy io bitmap context switching
Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification
x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks
with io permission bitmaps. x86-64 simply copies the next
tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch. x86-32
invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next
IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the
appropriate IO bitmap.
This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more
less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction
slower due to the extra fault. This tradeoff only makes sense
if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they
don't actually use IO instructions very often.
However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely
to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on
a server. Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win
all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from
64-bit code.
This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to
unifying this code in a later change.

x86: use regparm(3) for passed-in pt_regs pointer
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.

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 regparm(1) to receive the pt_regs pointer as the

x86: fix ioport unification on 32-bit
ioport unification was broken for 32-bit; it was missing
the acutal pushf/popf EFLAGS manipulation (set_iopl_mask()).
Also, use of volatile looks like leftover cruft.
