   On archs where we use a register to point to current I cant see why we
   need this thread_info junk. I'd be happy if we could put it all in the
   task struct for non intel.
   
I am in fact very happy with the thread_info implementation
on sparc64.

I was able to blow away all of the assembler offset stuff because now
all the stuff assembly wants to get at is in one structure and it is
trivial to compute the offsets by hand.
