substructure now (that's the only member actually). The system time
offset is therefore accessed via architecture specific accessor
functions.
Note, that this commit breaks the PPC build. Since I want to rename at
least one file I've already changed, I can't avoid that.

kernel TLBs from being flushed on context switch.
* new arch_cpu_user_TLB_invalidate() that now does what arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate()
did before.
* arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate() will now flush all TLBs, even those from the
kernel.
* some cleanups.

has not yet been tested, though - I'll do this after this commit):
* Removed the arch_memory_type stuff from vm_area; since there are only 8 memory
ranges on x86, it's simply overkill. The MTRR code now remembers the area ID
and finds the MTRR that way (it could also iterate over the existing MTRRs).
* Introduced some post_modules() init functions.
* If the other x86 CPUs out there don't differ a lot, MTRR functionality might
be put back into the kernel.
* x86_write_msr() was broken, it wrote the 64 bit number with the 32 bit words
switched - it took me some time (and lots of #GPs) to figure that one out.
* Removed the macro read_ebp() and introduced a function x86_read_ebp()
(it's not really a time critical call).
* Followed the Intel docs on how to change MTRRs (symmetrically on all CPUs
with caches turned off).
* Asking for memory types will automatically change the requested length to
a power of two - note that BeOS seems to behave in the same, although that's
not really very clean.
* fixed MTRRs are ignored for now - we should make sure at least, though,
that they are identical on all CPUs (or turn them off, even though I'd
prefer the BIOS stuff to be uncacheable, which we don't enforce yet, though).

to be able to follow the stack trace into userland.
No symbols there, yet, though.

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...

Moved ptentry/pdentry to arch_vm_translation_map.c and renamed them to
page_table_entry and page_directory_entry.
Fixed a race condition that happened when memory was remapped (which
can currently happen because lock_memory() does not work correctly, and
there might be other conditions as well, like certain vm_store fault
handlers). Now, page table and directory entries are updated atomically.

* Made the parameter for restoring the FPU state const.

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.
