Thanks.  Patch works, but needed to add asmregparm to the definitions
as well, plus added default define into <linux/linkage.h> (updated
patch below).

Subject: x86: fix UML calling convention
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

introduce the "asmregparm" calling convention: for functions
implemented in assembly with a fixed regparm input parameters
calling convention.

mark the semaphore and rwsem slowpath functions with that.
