The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules.  For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0.  If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff...  which is
probably not what the caller intended.

This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend).  This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.

This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.

The new implementation now returns the right value.

Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled,
and debugged it back to edx register corruption.

For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special
calling sequences to make them more efficient.  With the more
recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations
this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_
macros.

This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left
edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in

Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also
reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using
iwlagn.

It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get
checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic
timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other
wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible.

The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer
interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that:

 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less

 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
    the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.

I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the
original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported
success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec
range.
