The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,
leaving only the #include.
Remove this too as a cleanup.

Renaming a few types to contain a 32 suffix makes the
type names compatible with sparc64 and thus makes sharing
between the two a lot easier.
Note: None of these definitions are expected part of the
stable ABI towards userspace.

o sparc32 files with identical names to sparc64 renamed to <name>_32.S
o introduced a few Kconfig helpers to simplify Makefile logic
o refactored Makefile to prepare for unification
- use obj-$(CONFIG_SPARC32) for sparc32 specific files
- use <name>_$(BITS) for files where sparc64 has a _64 variant
- sparc64 directly include a few files where sparc32 builds them,
refer to these files directly (no BITS)
- sneaked in -Werror as used by sparc64
o modified sparc/Makefile to use the new names for head/init_task
