[PATCH 14/23] x86, kaiser: map entry stack variables

[Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>]

There are times that we enter the kernel and do not have a safe
stack, like at SYSCALL entry.  We use the per-cpu vairables
'rsp_scratch' and 'cpu_current_top_of_stack' to save off the old
%rsp and find a safe place to have a stack.

You can not directly manipulate the CR3 register.  You can only
'MOV' to it from another register, which means we need to clobber
a register in order to do any CR3 manipulation.  User-mapping these
variables allows us to obtain a safe stack *before* we switch the
CR3 value.
