powerpc: Save register r9-r13 values accurately on interrupt with bad stack
When we take an interrupt or exception from kernel mode and the stack pointer is obviously not a kernel address (i.e. the top bit is 0), we switch to an emergency stack, save register values and panic. However, on 64-bit server machines, we don't actually save the values of r9 - r13 at the time of the interrupt, but rather values corrupted by the exception entry code for r12-r13, and nothing at all for r9-r11. This fixes it by passing a pointer to the register save area in the paca through to the bad_stack code in r3. The register values are saved in one of the paca register save areas (depending on which exception this is). Using the pointer in r3, the bad_stack code now retrieves the saved values of r9 - r13 and stores them in the exception frame on the emergency stack. This also stores the normal exception frame marker ("regshere") in the exception frame.
