    x86/entry/64: Allocate and enable the SYSENTER stack · 1a79797b

    This will simplify future changes that want scratch variables early in
    the SYSENTER handler -- they'll be able to spill registers to the
    stack.  It also lets us get rid of a SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK user.
    
    This does not depend on CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y because we'll want the
    stack space even without IA32 emulation.
    
    As far as I can tell, the reason that this wasn't done from day 1 is
    that we use IST for #DB and #BP, which is IMO rather nasty and causes
    a lot more problems than it solves.  But, since #DB uses IST, we don't
    actually need a real stack for SYSENTER (because SYSENTER with TF set
    will invoke #DB on the IST stack rather than the SYSENTER stack).
    
    I want to remove IST usage from these vectors some day, and this patch
    is a prerequisite for that as well.
