2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx>

commit 71999d9862e667f1fd14f8fbfa0cce6d855bad3f upstream.

Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled,
and debugged it back to edx register corruption.

For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special
calling sequences to make them more efficient.  With the more
recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations
this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_
macros.

This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left
edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in
__PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use.
