Could you test the following on top of your patch?  It gets rid of
regs use in sys_clone() *and* of the regs argument in copy_thread().
If that work (including SMP - note that it changes the path taken
by copy_thread() when called by fork_idle()), that should be all
we'll need in arch/tile for killing idle_regs() and killing the pt_regs
passing to do_fork()/copy_process()/copy_thread().
It seems to work fine.  Thanks!
Thanks.  Put into no-rebase mode.
