As execution domain support is gone we can remove
signal translation from the signal code and remove
exec_domain from thread_info.

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Make default just return 0. The current default (checking
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it;
ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need
to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all.
ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling())
and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all). Killed the latter...

1. frv doesn't support SMP, remove the useless SMP bits.
2. frv has its own alloc_task_struct, so define __HAVE_ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ALLOCATOR
(I am not sure if frv should use generic alloc_task_struct().)

There are two alloc_thread_info_node() macros defined (one for debugging and
one for normal). The commit that changed them most recently:
commit b6a84016bd2598e35ead635147fa53619982648d
Author: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>
Date: Tue Mar 22 16:30:42 2011 -0700
Subject: mm: NUMA aware alloc_thread_info_node()
didn't add the node argument into the macro argument list for the normal macro.
This results in the following error:
kernel/fork.c:267:39: error: macro "alloc_thread_info_node" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1
kernel/fork.c: In function 'dup_task_struct':
kernel/fork.c:267: error: 'alloc_thread_info_node' undeclared (first use in this function)

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.
Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.
The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

Implement the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME thread flag, making it call do_notify_resume()
which then clears it. This will be made use of later by tracehooks in the
new-style ptrace implementation
Also discard TIF_IRET as that's not used by FRV.
