[PATCH] Evaluate syscall parameters on ARM LOAD_ARGS_x macros

Hi

While compiling uclibc on thumb and running LTP tests on it I noticed
that the sched_setaffinity system calls were failing. The reason is that
when the parameters to syscall macros on ARM contain function calls, gcc
places the calls to evaluate the parameters at the very end just before
the system call instruction (SVC) is called.
This corrupts the registers that has been set up for the system call.

This patch evaluates the arguments in LOAD_ARGS_x macros and also
separates declaration to make it more PPC like. Thanks to Daniel
Jacobowitz for this suggestion.

OK ?
