Two other very minor changes: use "mov.i" instead of "mov" for reading
ar.pfs (for clarity; doesn't affect the code at all). Also, predicate
the load of r14 for consistency.

Avoid some stalls, which is good for about 2 cycles when invoking a
light-weight handler. When invoking a heavy-weight handler, this
helps by about 7 cycles, with most of the improvement coming from the
improved branch-prediction achieved by splitting the BBB bundle into
two MIB bundles.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
