arcbios_calls.S data hazards



Hi all,

I think there are a couple of data hazards in arcbios_calls.S that can
cause trouble for pre-R4000 CPUs. I suspect this doesn't affect any real
ARCS machines since their CPUs should detect and stall automatically.
However, the sgimips port fakes ARCS for older R2k/R3k machines, so it uses
this code on older CPUs, too.

Unfortunately, --fatal-warnings didn't catch these.
