[RFC 3/3] x86, asm: Change the 32-bit sysenter code to use sp0

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Thu Feb 26 2015 - 19:08:09 EST


The ia32 sysenter code loaded the top of the kernel stack into rsp
by loading kernel_stack and then adjusting it. It can be simplified
to just read sp0 directly.

This requires the addition of a new asm-offsets entry for sp0.
