Tony Luck 7f30491ccd [IA64] Move include/asm-ia64 to arch/ia64/include/asm
After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:

1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>

2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.

3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.

*
* Jprobes (a.k.a. "jump probes" which is built on-top of kprobes) allow a
* probe to be inserted into the beginning of a function call. The fundamental
* difference between a jprobe and a kprobe is the jprobe handler is executed
* in the same context as the target function, while the kprobe handlers
* are executed in interrupt context.
*
* For jprobes we initially gain control by placing a break point in the
* first instruction of the targeted function. When we catch that specific
* break, we:
* * set the return address to our jprobe_inst_return() function
* * jump to the jprobe handler function
*
* Since we fixed up the return address, the jprobe handler will return to our
* jprobe_inst_return() function, giving us control again. At this point we
* are back in the parents frame marker, so we do yet another call to our
* jprobe_break() function to fix up the frame marker as it would normally
* exist in the target function.
*
* Our jprobe_return function then transfers control back to kprobes.c by
* executing a break instruction using one of our reserved numbers. When we
* catch that break in kprobes.c, we continue like we do for a normal kprobe
* by single stepping the emulated instruction, and then returning execution
* to the correct location.
