Jan Beulich b556b35e98 [PATCH] x86_64: Move int 3 handler to debug stack and allow to increase it.
This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
  breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
  %gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
  the INT1 handler's
[AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry
points]
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
  debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
  handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
  debugger-free kernel doesn't need it
