From: Adrian Bunk Some documentation updates and removes some code paths for gcc < 3.2.

Basically the current RELOC_HIDE can end up trashing r30. Details of the bug can be found at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25572 This bug is present in all compilers before 4.1. It is masked by the fact that our current per cpu data code is inefficient and causes other loads that end up marking r30 as used. A workaround identified by Alan Modra is to use the =r asm constraint instead of =g.
