[PATCH 2.6] MCA min_state area must be uncacheable

[PATCH 2.6] MCA min_state area must be uncacheable

[Luck, Tony]

Software Developer's Manual page 2:270, section 11.3.2.3
says that the processor min-state save area must be in an
uncacheable region ... but current MCA recovery code
allocates the min-state area "ia64_mca_min_state_save_info"
in regular kernel data/bss.

This patch re-uses the same min-state area that the PAL/SAL
used to report the error to Linux ... which mostly requires
deleting code and declarations (some of which were wrong,
MIN_STATE_AREA_SIZE ought to have been 58).  The real "work"
is copying the pointer to the min-state area from the
sal_to_os handoff structure into the os_to_sal structure.
