ARC: Support syscall ABI v4
The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall
implies userland caller and kernel callee.
The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in
even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such
values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word
LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc
forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we
have plenty anyways).
This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new
ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction.
Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in
terms of gcc code generation.
This change is dormant for now (gcc 4.8.x based tools) and will only kick
in with switch to gcc 6.x based tools.
