[PATCH 1/5] x86/mm/kaiser: Alternative ESPFIX

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-kaiser-espfix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2602 bytes --]

Change the asm to do the CR3 switcheroo so we can remove the magic
mappings.

Since RDI is unused after SWAPGS we can use it as a scratch reg for
SWITCH_TO_KERNEL. And once we've computed the new RSP (in RAX) we no
longer need RDI and can again use it as scratch reg for
SWITCH_TO_USER.
