Subject: [PATCH 03/39] x86/entry/32: Load task stack from x86_tss.sp1 in SYSENTER handler

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

We want x86_tss.sp0 point to the entry stack later to use
it as a trampoline stack for other kernel entry points
besides SYSENTER.

So store the task stack pointer in x86_tss.sp1, which is
otherwise unused by the hardware, as Linux doesn't make use
of Ring 1.
