The implementation for memory copy functions on ARM had a (disabled)
provision for aligning the source pointer before loading registers with
data. Turns out that aligning the _destination_ pointer is much more
useful, as the read side is already sufficiently helped with the use of
preload.
So this changes the definition of the CALGN() macro to target the
destination pointer instead, and turns it on for Feroceon processors
where the gain is very noticeable.

DEFAULT_FIQ was entirely unused. MODE_* are just redefinitions
of *_MODE. Use *_MODE instead.

As for RETINSTR/LOADREGS macros, these were for compatibility
with 26-bit ARMs. No longer required, so remove them.

RETINSTR is a left-over from the days when we had 26-bit and
32-bit CPU support integrated into the same tree. Since this
is no longer the case, we can now remove RETINSTR.

5d25ac038a broke VFP builds due to
enable_irq not being defined as an assembly macro. Move it to
assembler.h so everyone can use it.

save_and_disable_irqs does not need to use mov + msr (which was
introduced to work around a documentation bug which was propagated
into binutils.) Use msr with an immediate constant, and if we're
building for ARMv6 or later, use the new CPSID instruction.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
