    parisc: Switch user access functions to signal errors in r29 instead of r8 · 4b9d2a73

    Use register r29 instead of register r8 to signal faults when accessing
    user memory. In case of faults, the fixup routine will store -EFAULT in
    this register.
    
    This change saves up to 752 bytes on a 32bit kernel, partly because the
    compiler doesn't need to save and restore the old r8 value on the stack.
    
    bloat-o-meter results for usage with r29 register:
    add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 23/86 up/down: 228/-980 (-752)
    
    bloat-o-meter results for usage with r28 register:
    add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 28/83 up/down: 296/-956 (-660)
