    [POWERPC] Add IRQSTACKS support on ppc32 · 85218827

    This makes it possible to use separate stacks for hard and soft IRQs
    on 32-bit powerpc as well as on 64-bit.  The code for 32-bit is just
    the 32-bit analog of the 64-bit code.
    
    * Added allocation and initialization of the irq stacks.  We limit the
      stacks to be in lowmem for ppc32.
    * Implemented ppc32 versions of call_do_softirq() and call_handle_irq()
      to switch the stack pointers
    * Reworked how we do stack overflow detection.  We now keep around the
      limit of the stack in the thread_struct and compare against the limit
      to see if we've overflowed.  We can now use this on ppc64 if desired.

      thread_info pointer. ]
