arch_switch already exists (wasn't used for SKAS). About improving it and

another thing (a cleanup discussed some time ago with Jeff) but may be
needed to apply the second.
Wouldn't it be better to have separate arch_switch_tt and arch_switch_skas?
I think, arch_switch has to do different things for tt and skas (and maybe
even for skas0 and skas3)
Let's not go creating too many layers. switch_to_* calls arch_switch, then it
can use CHOOSE_MODE if it needs (see the TLS patch I'm working on, it's in
the -devel tarball here:
Then swtich_to_tt should call arch_switch_tt and switch_to_skas should call
arch_switch_skas. This avoids a CHOOSE_MODE and a function call.
And also it makes tt a bit more removable, if Jeff decides to.
