This patch fix two issues in the procfs stack information on X86_64
linux. 

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack start (this was
figured out by alexey).

The stack information on a X64_64 kernel always show 0 kbyte stack
usage, because of a miss implemented KSTK_ESP macro which always return
-1. The new implementation returns now the right value. 

The patch is against 2.6.32-rc5-git5.

Please apply this patch!

Greetings,
Stefani

x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit

This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.

The new implementation now returns the right value.
