sparc: Add _CPU_Get_current_per_CPU_control()
Use register g6 for the per-CPU control of the current processor. The
register g6 is reserved for the operating system by the SPARC ABI. On
Linux register g6 is used for a similar purpose with the same method
since 1996.
The register g6 must be initialized during system startup and then must
remain unchanged.
Since the per-CPU control is used in all critical sections of the
operating system, this is a performance optimization for the operating
system core procedures. An additional benefit is that the low-level
context switch and interrupt processing code is now identical on non-SMP
and SMP configurations.
