This last patch (but not least :) ) finally moves the next pointer at
the end of struct dst_entry. This permits to perform route cache
lookups with a minimal cost of one cache line per entry, instead of
two.
Both 32bits and 64bits platforms benefit from this new layout.

This patch removes the next pointer from 'struct dn_route.u' union,
and renames u.rt_next to u.dst.dn_next.
It also moves 'struct flowi' right after 'struct dst_entry' to prepare
speedup lookups.

This patch removes the rt_next pointer from 'struct rtable.u' union,
and renames u.rt_next to u.dst_rt_next.
It also moves 'struct flowi' right after 'struct dst_entry' to prepare
the gain on lookups.

This patch introduces an anonymous union to nicely express the fact that all
objects inherited from struct dst_entry should access to the generic 'next'
pointer but with appropriate type verification.
This patch is a prereq before following patches.

In a prior patch, I introduced a sk_hash field (__sk_common.skc_hash) to let
tcp lookups use one cache line per unmatched entry instead of two.
We can also use sk_hash to speedup UDP part as well. We store in sk_hash the
hnum value, and use sk->sk_hash (same cache line than 'next' pointer),
instead of inet->num (different cache line)
Note : We still have a false sharing problem for SMP machines, because
sock_hold(sock) dirties the cache line containing the 'next' pointer. Not
counting the udp_hash_lock rwlock. (did someone mentioned RCU ? :) )

This macro was used to save static registers before calling
sys_sigsuspend() and sys_sigreturn().
For the sys_sigreturn() case, there's no point to save them
since they have been already saved by setup_sigcontext()
before calling the signal handler.
For the sys_sigsuspend() case, I don't see any reasons...

All the information in the MIPS c0_status register is priviledged.
Nothing that would constitute part of the thread context.
The one flag one could possibly argument about might be c0_status.fr
but none of the ABIs or tools or application software can make use
of it.
So for consistency with restore_sigcontext32(), which does not
restore c0_status register, this patch remove the saving part.

There's no point for signal32.c to redefine get_sigframe().
It should use the one define in signal.c instead.
The same stands for install_sigtramp().
