Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: zboot: head.S clean up

.cprestore is removed as we don't except Position Independent
zboot ELF.

.noreorder is also removed and rest instructions is massaged
to improve readability.

t9 register is used to indirect jump as MIPS ABI requirement.

You can also remove the 'start' label, since it's declared inside the
LEAF() macro as well. GNU's assembler won't mind, but LLVM will choke
on that.

I was trying to catch you on IRC but failed every time when it comes to my mind :-(
