Drivers which make use of the FIQ interrupt may require the state
of the FIQ mode registers to be preserved across suspend/resume.
Because the FIQ mode registers are not saved and restored
automatically by the kernel, driver authors will need to do the
appropriate save/restore in their own driver suspend/resume
handlers.
Implementing global automatic save/restore of the FIQ state does
not appear appropriate, since this by itself is not sufficient for
FIQ-based drivers to function correctly across suspend/resume in
any case.
This patch adds a brief explanatory note to fiq.h documenting the
requirement placed on driver authors.

* To remove the risk of inconvenient register allocation decisions
by the compiler, these functions are separated out as pure
assembler.
* The apcs frame manipulation code is not applicable for Thumb-2
(and also not easily compatible). Since it's not essential to
have a full frame on these leaf assembler functions, the frame
manipulation is removed, in the interests of simplicity.
* Split up ldm/stm instructions to be compatible with Thumb-2,
as well as avoiding instruction forms deprecated on >= ARMv7.

Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
