powerpc/book3e: Use set_irq_regs() in the msgsnd/msgrcv IPI path
include/asm-generic/irq_regs.h declares per-cpu irq_regs variables and
get_irq_regs() and set_irq_regs() helper functions to maintain them.
These can be used to access the proper pt_regs structure related to the
current interrupt entry (if any).
In the powerpc arch code, this is used to maintain irq regs on
decrementer and external interrupt exceptions. However, for the
doorbell exceptions used by the msgsnd/msgrcv IPI mechanism of newer
BookE CPUs, the irq_regs are not kept up to date.
In particular this means that xmon will not work properly on SMP,
because the secondary xmon instances started by IPI will blow up when
they cannot retrieve the irq regs.
This patch fixes the problem by adding calls to maintain the irq regs
across doorbell exceptions.
