 Replace magic numbers with proper macros prepared in assym.h.
 
 No binary changes.
 
 Note this is a preparation for a possible fix of PR port-m68k/55990.
 
 Consistently use motorola style.  No binary changes.
 Seems missed in rev 1.3:
  https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2013/08/01/msg046378.html
 
 Plug kernel stack leaks in reenter_syscall() for setcontext(2).
 This fixes long standing kernel crashes (MMU fault, address error,
 and silent freeze by a double bus fault etc. seen for ~10 years)
 caused by kernel stack overflow, especially on x68k and sun3 running
 Xorg based servers.  See PR/55990 for more details.
 
 "This change seems perfectly reasonable" from thorpej@ and
 jklos@ also reported this also solved freeze of his mac68k system
 with 10 megabyes of memory.
 
 Should be pulled up to netbsd-9 and netbsd-8.
