[PATCHv2 0/4] x86, entry: some cleanup and simplification...

[Alexander van Heukelum]

Hi Andy,

The last patchset did not compile on i386. Please ignore it. This one
should be better. Instead of removing KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET, it is now
used consistently on both i386 and x86_64.

Boot tested using qemu (using klibc for userspace)
	- x86_64, 32-bit userspace, core2duo (sysenter32)
	- x86_64, 32-bit userspace, phenom (syscall32)
	- x86_64, 32-bit userspace, vdso=0 (int 0x80)
	- x86_64, 64-bit userspace
	- i386, pentium3 (sysenter)
	- i386, athlon (syscall)
	- i386, vdso=0 (int 0x80)

They were tested on top of 22f2aa4a0361707a5cfb1de9d45260b39965dead
(x86/entry-devel in your tree) and this kernel is now running on my
laptop.

Greetings,
   Alexander
