This patch unifies the set_tss_desc between i386 and x86_64,
which can now have a common implementation. After the old
functions are removed from desc_{32,64}.h, nothing important is
left, and the files can be removed.

With the types used to access descriptors in x86_64 and i386
now being the same, the code that effectively handles them can
now be easily shared. This patch moves the paravirt part of
desc_32.h into desc.h, and then, we get paravirt support in x86_64
for free.

This patch makes get_desc_base() receive a struct desc_struct,

This patch unifies the non-paravirt part of desc_{32,64}.h into
desc.h. Most of it, is simply common code, that is moved to
the shared header. The only exception is the set_ldt_desc in desc_64.h,
which is changed - included its name - to accomodate for the way
the ldt is set up in i386.
Also, constant definitions used in desc_32.h are moved to desc_defs.h

This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
%gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
the INT1 handler's
[AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry
points]
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
debugger-free kernel doesn't need it

Here's a patch that builds on Natalie Protasevich's IRQ compression
patch and tries to work for MPS boots as well as ACPI. It is meant for
a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt
pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc.
The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with
I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540. This is much bigger
than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64). Also, there aren't enough
vectors to go around. There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting
the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F. So, my patch
attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

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!
