[PATCH] ia64: cleanup and improve fsys_gettimeofday

[Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com>]

No one really cares?

This patch does:

 - Remove outdated comments (which someday I marked with "?").
 - Reassemble instructions to fit them in fewer bundles.
 - If McKinley Errata 9 workaround is not needed, the workaround
   bundles will be patched out with NOPs. However it also not
   needed to have a totally NOP bundle (nop * 3) before branch.

As a result, this makes the code path 3 (or 2) bundles shorter
(and remove 1 unnecessary stop bit). It seems to be 1% faster.

(10sec loop test, with nojitter @ Madison 1.5GHz x 4)
Before:
 CPU  0:  0.14 (usecs) (0 errors / 69598875 iterations)
 CPU  1:  0.14 (usecs) (0 errors / 69630721 iterations)
 CPU  2:  0.14 (usecs) (0 errors / 69607850 iterations)
 CPU  3:  0.14 (usecs) (0 errors / 69619832 iterations)

After:
 CPU  0:  0.14 (usecs) (0 errors / 70257728 iterations)
 CPU  1:  0.14 (usecs) (0 errors / 70309498 iterations)
 CPU  2:  0.14 (usecs) (0 errors / 70280639 iterations)
 CPU  3:  0.14 (usecs) (0 errors / 70260682 iterations)
