    [POWERPC] spufs: rework class 0 and 1 interrupt handling · d6ad39bc

    Based on original patches from
     Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergman@de.ibm.com>; and
     Luke Browning <lukebr@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    
    Currently, spu contexts need to be loaded to the SPU in order to take
    class 0 and class 1 exceptions.
    
    This change makes the actual interrupt-handlers much simpler (ie,
    set the exception information in the context save area), and defers the
    handling code to the spufs_handle_class[01] functions, called from
    spufs_run_spu.
    
    This should improve the concurrency of the spu scheduling leading to
    greater SPU utilization when SPUs are overcommited.
