The _switch stack frame setup are substantially the same, so are the
comments. The difference in how the stack and current are switched,
and other hardware and software housekeeping is done is moved into
macros.

These patches are mostly just shuffling code around. Better? Worse?

Thanks,
Nick

I find it nice, at least for PPC32 part.

For PPC32 generated code is almost the same, only a few reordering at 
the start of the function.

Before the change I have:

00000238 <_switch>:
  238:	94 21 ff 30 	stwu    r1,-208(r1)
  23c:	7c 08 02 a6 	mflr    r0
  240:	90 01 00 d4 	stw     r0,212(r1)
  244:	91 a1 00 44 	stw     r13,68(r1)
...
  28c:	93 e1 00 8c 	stw     r31,140(r1)
  290:	90 01 00 90 	stw     r0,144(r1)
  294:	7d 40 00 26 	mfcr    r10
  298:	91 41 00 a8 	stw     r10,168(r1)
  29c:	90 23 00 00 	stw     r1,0(r3)
  2a0:	3c 04 40 00 	addis   r0,r4,16384
  2a4:	7c 13 43 a6 	mtsprg  3,r0
...

After the change I have:

00000000 <_switch>:
    0:	7c 08 02 a6 	mflr    r0
    4:	90 01 00 04 	stw     r0,4(r1)
    8:	94 21 ff 30 	stwu    r1,-208(r1)
    c:	90 23 00 00 	stw     r1,0(r3)
   10:	91 a1 00 44 	stw     r13,68(r1)
...
   58:	93 e1 00 8c 	stw     r31,140(r1)
   5c:	90 01 00 90 	stw     r0,144(r1)
   60:	7c 00 00 26 	mfcr    r0
   64:	90 01 00 a8 	stw     r0,168(r1)
   68:	3c 04 40 00 	addis   r0,r4,16384
   6c:	7c 13 43 a6 	mtsprg  3,r0
...

Everything else is identical.

Not sure, maybe re-using r1 immediately after stwu will introduce latency.

Hmm, this is how GCC seems to emits stack prologue code for ppc32.

On ppc64  the mflr r0 comes first, then the non-volatile register
saving, then the LR save, then ther r1 stdu.

Seems a bit pointless to have to different implementations. I
think we'd like to have LR saved before r1 though, otherwise you
get an unreliable backtrace in your last 2 stack frames instead
of just the last one, don't you?

Thanks,
Nick
