Change 29883 by marcel@marcel_nfs on 2003/04/27 11:30:56

	Prefer ar.bsp over ar.bspstore. The value of ar.bspstore is
	supposed to be equal to the value of ar.bsp due to flushing
	the register stack, but a PAL bug existed where a PMI could
	cause RSE spills or fills to fail to complete. This makes
	me wonder: why use a register that has a more dynamic nature
	than one that is invariant over the course of this function
	and has the value we're interested in?
	
	This change doesn't fix a problem (alas, because it means I
	still have to fix the problem I hoped this would fix :-) and
	is probably gratuitous for all practical purposes but it has
	higher quality this way. For example: ar.bsp may have faster
	access times because it's invariant. The RSE has to synchronize
	access to ar.bspstore with RSE operation...
