32fc239aa2 arch/x86: (Intel64) use TSS for per-CPU variables
A space is allocated in the TSS for per-CPU variables. At present,
this is only a 'struct _cpu *' to find the _kernel CPU struct. The
locore routines are rewritten to find _current and _nested via this
pointer rather than referencing the _kernel global directly.

This is obviously in preparation for SMP support.

e4d5ab363c arch/x86: (Intel64) define TSS in C, not assembly
Declare the 64-bit TSS as a struct, and define the instance in C.
Add a data segment selector that overlaps the TSS and keep that
loaded in GS so we can access the TSS via a segment-override prefix.
