Historically, pt_regs would end at offset of 1 word from end of stack
page.
----------------- -> START of page (task->stack)

| thread_info |

^ ~ ~

-----------------
| 1 word GUTTER |
----------------- -> End of page (START of kernel stack)
This required special "one-off" considerations in low level code.
The root cause is very likely assumption of "empty" SP by the original
ARC kernel hackers, despite ARC700 always been "full" SP.
So finally RIP one word gutter !

The generic idle loop implements all functionality. Aside of that it
allows arc to implement the tsk_is_polling() functionality correctly,
despite the patently (now gone) comment in the original arc cpu_idle()
function:
/* Since we SLEEP in idle loop, TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG can't be set */
See kernel/cpu/idle.c

The upstream kernel ABI (v3) is different from current out-of-tree (v2):
* no-legacy-syscalls
* user_regs_struct layout has changed
So we rev up the ABI version
