For many sun4v processor types, reading or writing a privileged register
has a latency of 40 to 70 cycles.  Use a combination of the low-latency
allclean, otherw, normalw, and nop instructions in etrap and rtrap to
replace 2 rdpr and 5 wrpr instructions and improve etrap/rtrap
performance.  allclean, otherw, and normalw are available on NG2 and
later processors.

The average ticks to execute the flush windows trap ("ta 0x3") with and
without this patch on select platforms:

 CPU            Not patched     Patched    % Latency Reduction

 NG2            1762            1558            -11.58
 NG4            3619            3204            -11.47

v2:
	Simplified and future-proofed changes to sun4v_patch()
	by just skipping hot patching for Niagara1 processors.

I'm applying this after I review it a little more but this situation
is kinda disappointing:

So the chip can't decode "wrpr %g0, 7, %cleanwin" and say "hey, this is
'allclean'" and do whatever fast path exists in the chip for that?

I realize the other cases are not so simple because they involve a
read/write sequence.

Enough complaining from me :-)

Applied, thanks.
