Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: move __syscall_error into syscall stub

Hi,
the attached patch moves the __syscall_error code on linux mips for the
__PIC__ case right behind the syscall stub itself saving the overhead of
jumping to __syscall_error (with all the .cpload, etc.) and also making
it unnecessary to pull in sysdep.S in linuxthreads (but enlarging glibc
by about +8k). Is this optimation worthwhile? 
The rest of the patch is merely a cleanup of __SYSCALL_CLOBBERS and
and the stack layout in sysdep-cancel.h.
Regards,
 -- Guido
