[PATCH] Save NVGPRS in 32-bit signal frame

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
Date: 2005-11-24 12:51:47 

Somehow this one slipped through the cracks; when we ended up in
do_signal() on a 32-bit kernel but without having the caller-saved
registers into the regs, we didn't set the TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag to
ensure they got saved later.

Oh, and if we actually set the flag, then we fairly quickly find out
that I was a bit overzealous in copying code from entry_64.S ... :)
