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
