Two small fixes for Sparc, nobody uses sparc, so these are low risk :-)
1) Piggyback is too picky about the symbol types that _start and _end have in the final kernel image, and it thus breaks with newer binutils. Future proof by getting rid of the symbol type checks.
2) exit_group() should kill register windows on sparc64 the same way we do for plain exit(). Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this.
Please pull, thanks a lot!
