Xen devel - Jan 2012 - [PATCH] compile fixes for xen with gcc-4.7 on Fedora 17

I needed the xen-4.1 equivalent of the attached patch to get xen to 
compile on Fedora 17 with gcc-4.7. It seems that gcc-4.7 doesn''t like
it
when you mix definitions of a function as
void function(void);
and
asmlinkage void function(void);
in .c and .h files. The patch (for 4.2) fixes three cases where they are 
inconsistent.

I wonder why we''re bothering with asmlinkage at all. It''s
defined to nothin
on x86-64, and regparm((0)) is actually the default for i386 anyway. I think
we can just kill off asmlinkage, so I''ll do that instead.
