[OpenBIOS] [PATCH 0/7] SPARC64 context improvements

This patchset improves the context handling in 2 ways: firstly it unifies
the context structures between switch_to() and CIF entry, and secondly fixes
up the context switch code enough so that we can switch and return from an
arbitrary PC address in testing.

This is a precursor to fixing up the load/init-program logic so that clients
are able access and alter their own context from Forth.

Mark Cave-Ayland (7):
  SPARC64: add parameter to indicate %cwp save/restore direction
  SPARC64: allocate space in context to save global registers
  SPARC64: save/restore global registers to context when entering CIF
  SPARC64: save CIF entry globals under the client stack
  SPARC64: introduce %pc into context and use it when exiting CIF
  SPARC64: split off general CPU registers into *_GENERAL_STATE macros
  SPARC64: switch entry.S over to use existing context macros
