  MFC 220430,220431,220452,220460:
  If a system call does not request a full interrupt return, use a fast
  path via the sysretq instruction to return from the system call.  This
  resolves most of the performance regression in system call microbenchmarks
  between 7 and 8 on amd64.
  
  While here, trim an instruction (and memory access) from the doreti path
  and fix a typo in a comment.
