[POWERPC] cell: Unify spufs syscall path
At present, a built-in spufs will not use the spufs_calls callbacks, but directly call sys_spu_create. This saves us an indirect branch, but means we have duplicated functions - one for CONFIG_SPU_FS=y and one for =m. This change unifies the spufs syscall path, and provides access to the spufs_calls structure through a get/put pair. At present, the only user of the spufs_calls structure is spu_syscalls.c, but this will facilitate adding the coredump calls later. Everyone likes numbers, right? Here's a before/after comparison with CONFIG_SPU_FS=y, doing spu_create(); close(); 64k times. Before: [jk@cell ~]$ time ./spu_create performing 65536 spu_create calls real 0m24.075s user 0m0.146s sys 0m23.925s After: [jk@cell ~]$ time ./spu_create performing 65536 spu_create calls real 0m24.777s user 0m0.141s sys 0m24.631s So, we're adding around 11us per syscall, at the benefit of having only one syscall path.
