    kernel - Fix CVE-2018-8897, debug register issue
    
    * #DB can be delayed in a way that causes it to occur on the first
      instruction of the int $3 or syscall handlers.  These handlers must
      be able to detect and handle the condition.  This is a historical
      artifact of cpu operation that has existed for a very long time on
      both AMD and Intel CPUs.
    
    * Fix by giving #DB its own trampoline stack and a way to load a
      deterministic %gs and %cr3 independent of the normal CS check.
      This is CVE-2018-8897.
    
    * Also fix the NMI trampoline while I'm here.
    
    * Also fix an old issue with debug register trace traps which can
      occur when the kernel is accessing the user's address space.
      This fix was lost years ago, now recovered.
