In order to always provide fully synchronized state to the debugger,
we might need to do a synchronize_user_stack().
A pair of hooks, arch_ptrace_stop_needed() and arch_ptrace_stop(),
exist to handle this kind of situation. It was created for
the sake of IA64.
Use them, to flush the kernel side cached register windows
to the user stack, when necessary.

All architectures now use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, as should every
new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another).
Remove the now superflous __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE define, and also
kill a comment about __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE that was added after
__ARCH_SYS_PTRACE was already gone.

Lots of shadowed local variables and global_reg_snapshot[] needs
an extern declaration in asm/ptrace_64.h.

Some of them use 'bool' and whatnot and therefore are not
kosher for userspace, so don't export them there.

Record one more level of stack frame program counter.
Particularly when lockdep and all sorts of spinlock debugging is
enabled, figuring out the caller of spin_lock() is difficult when the
cpu is stuck on the lock.

The majority of this patch was created by the following script:
***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***
The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
