IRQ stacks provide much better safety against unexpected stack use from
interrupts, at the minimal downside of slightly higher memory usage.
Enable irq stacks also for the default 8k stack on 32-bit kernels to
minimize the problem of stack overflows through interrupt activity.

This is what the 64-bit kernel and various other architectures already do.

The current organization of the x86 documentation makes it appear as
if the "i386" documentation doesn't apply to x86-64, which is does.
Thus, move that documentation into Documentation/x86, and move the
x86-64-specific stuff into Documentation/x86/x86_64 with the eventual
goal to move stuff that isn't actually 64-bit specific back into
Documentation/x86.

Fix typos.
Lots of whitespace changes for readability and consistency.

Describes the stack organization on x86-64.

I changed it a bit and removed some obsolete information and the
questions.
