While working on arch/alpha/include/asm/uaccess.h, I noticed
that some macros within this header are made harder to read because they
violate a coding style rule: space is missing after comma.
Fix it up.

virtio wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user. At the
moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an
integer.
Fix that up using __force.

Similar to x86/sparc/powerpc implementations except:
1) we implement an extremely efficient has_zero()/find_zero()
sequence with both prep_zero_mask() and create_zero_mask()
no-operations.
2) Our output from prep_zero_mask() differs in that only the
lowest eight bits are used to represent the zero bytes
nevertheless it can be safely ORed with other similar masks
from prep_zero_mask() and forms input to create_zero_mask(),
the two fundamental properties prep_zero_mask() must satisfy.
Tests on EV67 and EV68 CPUs revealed that the generic code is
essentially as fast (to within 0.5% of CPU cycles) of the old
Alpha specific code for large quadword-aligned strings, despite
the 30% extra CPU instructions executed. In contrast, the
generic code for unaligned strings is substantially slower (by
more than a factor of 3) than the old Alpha specific code.

Exception fixups for sections other than .text (like one in futex_init())
break the natural ordering of fixup entries, so sorting is required.
Without that the result of the exception table search depends on phase of
the moon.

When this macros isn't called with 'fixup', e.g. with foo this will
incorectly expand to foo->foo.bits.errreg

Sam Ravnborg did the build-test that the direct header file move works,
I'm just committing it.
This is a pure move:
mkdir arch/alpha/include
git mv include/asm-alpha arch/alpha/include/asm
with no other changes.
