Subject: [PATCH 12/16] x86/asm/64: Return to userspace from the trampoline stack

By itself, this is useless.  It gives us the ability to run some final
code before exit that cannnot run on the kernel stack.  This could
include a CR3 switch a la KAISER or some kernel stack erasing, for
example.  (Or even weird things like *changing* which kernel stack
gets used as an ASLR-strengthening mechanism.)

The SYSRET32 path is not covered yet.  It could be in the future or
we could just ignore it and force the slow path if needed.
