Make default just return 0.  The current default (checking
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it;
ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need
to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all.

ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling())
and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all).  Killed the latter...

we *really* don't want to have restart logics hit when we are returning from
sigreturn() - random replacement of %r4 with -4 just because a signal had
been noticed from timer interrupt that came when %r4 happened to contain
-514 is not nice at all.

The tricky part here is that task_pt_regs() on m68k works *only* for
process inside do_signal().  However, we need something much simpler -
pt_regs of a process inside do_signal() may be at different offsets
from the stack bottom, depending on the way we'd entered the kernel,
but for a task inside sys_execve() it *is* at constant offset.
Moreover, for a kernel thread about to become a userland process the
same location is also fine - setting sp to that will leave the kernel
stack pointer at the very bottom of the kernel stack when we finally
switch to userland.

The stack frame "format" field needs to be explicitly set on thread creation
on ColdFire. For a normal long word aligned user stack pointer the frame
format is 0x4.

We were doing this for non-MMU ColdFire, but not for the case with MMU enabled.
So fix it so we always do it if targeting ColdFire.

The old code happend to rely on the stack frame format being inhereted from
the process calling exec. Furture changes means that may not always work,
so we really do want to set it explicitly.

the only non-obvious part is that current_pt_regs() is really needed
here - task_pt_regs() is NULL for kernel threads; it's OK for ptrace
uses (the thing task_pt_regs() is intended for), but not for us.

32bit wrapper is lost on that; 64bit one is *not*, since
we need to arrange for full pt_regs on stack when we call
sys_execve() and we need to load callee-saved ones from
there afterwards.
