Although slighly different, the tss_struct is very similar in x86_64 and
i386. The really different part, which matchs the hardware vision of it, is
now called x86_hw_tss, and each of the architectures provides yours.
It's then used as a field in the outter tss_struct.

This patch unifies struct desc_ptr between i386 and x86_64.
They can be expressed in the exact same way in C code, only
having to change the name of one of them. As Xgt_desc_struct
is ugly and big, this is the one that goes away.
There's also a padding field in i386, but it is not really
needed in the C structure definition.

This changes size-specific register names (eip/rip, esp/rsp, etc.) to
generic names in the thread and tss structures.

The new percpu code has apparently broken the doublefault handler
when CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is set. Doublefault is handled by
a hardware task, making the check
SPIN_BUG_ON(lock->owner == current, lock, "recursion");
fault because it uses the FS register to access the percpu data
for current, and that register is zero in the new TSS. (The trace
I saw was on 2.6.20 where it was GS, but it looks like this will
still happen with FS on 2.6.22.)
Initializing FS in the doublefault_tss should fix it.
AK: Also fix broken ptr_ok() and turn printks into KERN_EMERG
AK: And add a PANIC prefix to make clear the system will hang
AK: (e.g. x86-64 will recover)

Not sure about this, now I've done it. Running it here.
If you like it, I can do x86-64 as well.

lguest defines its own TSS struct because the "struct tss_struct"
contains linux-specific additions. Andi asked me to split the struct
in processor.h.
Unfortunately it makes usage a little awkward.

Add cpu_relax() to infinite loops in crash.c and doublefault.c. This is

i386 inline assembler cleanup.
This change encapsulates descriptor and task register management. Also,
it is possible to improve assembler generation in two cases; savesegment
may store the value in a register instead of a memory location, which
allows GCC to optimize stack variables into registers, and MOV MEM, SEG
is always a 16-bit write to memory, making the casting in math-emu
unnecessary.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
