SVN rev 181823 on 2008-08-18 08:47:27Z by kib
The doreti_iret_fault code is always called with gs base MSR containing
kernel gs base, because %rip is adjusted only on kernel-mode trap caused
by iretq execution. On the other hand, the stack contains (hardware
part of) trap frame from the usermode. As a consequence, checking for
frame mode and doing swapgs causes the kernel to enter trap() with
usermode gs base.
Remove the check for mode and conditional swapgs, we already have right
gs base in the MSR.
