[IA64] On return from syscall, hint b7 with __kernel_syscall_via_epc().
Why is this a good idea? Clearing b7 to 0 is guaranteed to do us no
good and writing it with __kernel_syscall_via_epc() yields a 6 cycle
improvement _if_ the application performs another EPC-based system-
call without overwriting b7, which is not all that uncommon. Well
worth the minimal cost of 1 bundle of code.
