The pt_regs struct had both a 'syscallno' field and an 'orig_gpr11' field
and it wasn't really clear how these were supposed to be used. This patch
removes the syscallno field altogether and makes orig_gpr11 work more
like other architectures: keep track of syscall number in progress or
hold -1 for non-syscall exceptions.

The OpenRISC Linux kernel conforms to the "generic" syscall interface which
contains only the reduced set of syscalls deemed necessary for new
architectures. Unfortunately, the uClibc port for OpenRISC does not fully
support this reduced set; as such, an additional patch available out-of-tree
needs to be applied to the kernel in order to use the current uClibc. This
is just a temporary measure until the libc port can be straightened out; it
is likely that OpenRISC will make the transition to glibc shortly where the
generic syscall interface is better supported.
