[RFC v2 PATCH 2/7] x86/entry: reverse arguments to do_syscall_64()

[H. Peter Anvin]

From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

Reverse the order of arguments to do_syscall_64() so that the first
argument is the pt_regs pointer. This is not only consistent with
*all* other entry points from assembly, but it actually makes the
compiled code slightly better.
