for these changes. I was mostly just staring in amazement at the screen
while Axel and Thomas were discussing IA32 internals. A particularly
fascinating moment was when Thomas produced the cause of a bug we had
been trying to track down for hours off the top of his head (of course
iret behaves specially when the NT bit is set :-). His slowness must be
excused though, since he hadn't slept for more then 30 hours. ;-)
The code doesn't wholeheartedly deal with multi-processor machines yet.
Axel will certainly do some cleanup...

flag. Now, it will choose how to set the granularity by evaluating the
limit.
This call was actually already used this way in the kernel, so that
the TLS and TSS segments were much too large (harmless but incorrect).

Renamed i386_set_kstack() to i386_set_tss_and_kstack(), because that's what
it does.
Added a new function arch_thread_init_tls() which must be called after
having allocated the TLS area.
Renamed arch_thread_initialize_kthread_stack() to arch_thread_init_kthread_stack()
to be more consistent.
Changed the parameters for arch_thread_enter_uspace() - it now gets a pointer
to the thread structure and takes the user stack pointer from there (which
might also be architectural different).

Moved the tss_descriptor structure to descriptor.h, updated it to be a
segment_descriptor structure, and provided inlines for set_tss_descriptor(),
set_segment_descriptor(), set_segment_descriptor_base(), and
clear_segment_descriptor().
Also added defines for the different privilege levels and descriptor types.
Removed the unusused and incorrect TSS definition, introduced new
TSS_BASE_SEGMENT and TLS_BASE_SEGMENT macros.
Removed include of arch/cpu.h in arch_cpu.h.

A couple of changes in various interrupt and thread functions and structures.
These make it now possible to change the stack at any time without making the kernel crash. This is needed for calling VESA 3.0 VBE functions through the protected mode interface.
