This ports the algorithm from x86-64 (with improvements) to i386.
Previously this only worked for frame pointer enabled kernels.
But spinlocks have a very simple stack frame that can be manually
analyzed. Do this.

PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP} is actually arch specific, for now, and the
current allocated number clashes with a ptrace code of frv, i.e.
PTRACE_GETFDPIC.  I should have submitted this much earlier, anyway we get no
breakage for this.

Privilege checking cleanup.  Originally, these diffs were much greater, but
recent cleanups in Linux have already done much of the cleanup.  I added
some explanatory comments in places where the reasoning behind certain
tests is rather subtle.

Also, in traps.c, we can skip the user_mode check in handle_BUG().  The
reason is, there are only two call chains - one via die_if_kernel() and one
via do_page_fault(), both entering from die().  Both of these paths already
ensure that a kernel mode failure has happened.  Also, the original check
here, if (user_mode(regs)) was insufficient anyways, since it would not
rule out BUG faults from V8086 mode execution.

Saving the %ss segment in show_regs() rather than assuming a fixed value
also gives better information about the current kernel state in the
register dump.

 - make the new user_mode() return 0 or 1 (same as x86_64)

 - remove conditional jump from user_mode_vm() it's called every timer

Rename user_mode to user_mode_vm and add a user_mode macro similar to the
x86-64 one.

This is useful for Xen because the linux xen kernel does not runs on the same
priviledge that a vanilla linux kernel, and with this we just need to redefine
user_mode().

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
