    kernel - Make pcb_onfault more robust.
    
    * Record the expected kernel stack pointer along with the pcb_onfault
      action.  Adjust the trap code to only take the action if the frame's
      stack pointer matches the recorded expected stack pointer.
    
      Otherwise this might be a recursive trap and we definitely do NOT want
      to execute the on-fault stuff in that situation.
    
    * Prior to these changes recursive traps during uiomove()s could result
      in a kernel stack so corrupt that finding the actual cause of the panic
      becomes impossible.  This is believed to be making life difficult for us
      trying to track down a particular i386 panic.
    
    * On x86-64 we had to increase the size of the pcb structure.  kgdb on
      kernel cores and live kernels will be effected (needs recompile).
