Denys is right that KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET is a mess.  Let's start fixing
it.

This removes all C code that *reads* kernel_stack.  It also fixes the
KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET abomination in ia32_sysenter_target.

It does not fix the KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET abomination in GET_THREAD_INFO
and THREAD_INFO.  I think that should be its own patch.

It also doesn't change the two syscall targets.  To fix them, we should
make a decision.  Either we should make KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET have the
correct nonzero value to save an instruction or we should get rid of
kernel_stack entirely.

Changes from v1:
 - Fix missing export.
 - Fix lguest code.
 - Add more init_tss naming cleanups (Ingo's suggestion).
 - Changelog improvements (Ingo).
 - Improve the check in ist_begin_non_atomic (Denys).

Andy Lutomirski (6):
  x86: Add this_cpu_sp0() to read sp0 for the current cpu
  x86: Switch all C consumers of kernel_stack to this_cpu_sp0
  x86, asm: Change the 32-bit sysenter code to use sp0
  x86: Rename init_tss to cpu_tss
  x86: Remove INIT_TSS and fold the definitions into cpu_tss
  x86, asm: Rename INIT_TSS_IST to TSS_IST
