Subject: sh: Simplify kernel_thread_helper() for sh32.
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=43f8f9b95b65dc05368cd82268895b9508b17d50;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

sh: Simplify kernel_thread_helper() for sh32.

This can use the same implementation as sh64, the generated assembly is
the same between the new and old version, so there is not much point in
leaving it open coded in inline assembly.

This is preparatory work for future consolidation of the _32/_64
variants.
