David S. Miller b4f4372f96 sparc64: Make %pil level 15 a pseudo-NMI.
So that we can profile code even in a local_irq_disable() section,
only write 14 (instead of 15) into the %pil register to disable IRQs.

This allows PIL level 15 to serve as a pseudo NMI.

/* To avoid some locking problems, we hard allocate certain PILs
* for SMP cross call messages that must do a etrap/rtrap.
*
* A local_irq_disable() does not block the cross call delivery, so
* when SMP locking is an issue we reschedule the event into a PIL
* interrupt which is blocked by local_irq_disable().
*
* In fact any XCALL which has to etrap/rtrap has a problem because
* it is difficult to prevent rtrap from running BH's, and that would
* need to be done if the XCALL arrived while %pil==PIL_NORMAL_MAX.
*
* Finally, in order to handle profiling events even when a
* local_irq_disable() is in progress, we only disable up to level 14
* interrupts. Profile counter overflow interrupts arrive at level
* 15.
