Impact: cleanup
On x86_32, %gs is handled lazily. It's not saved and restored on
kernel entry/exit but only when necessary which usually is during task
switch but there are few other places. Currently, it's done by
calling savesegment() and loadsegment() explicitly. Define
get_user_gs(), set_user_gs() and task_user_gs() and use them instead.
While at it, clean up register access macros in signal.c.
This cleans up code a bit and will help future changes.

do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
of configuration in the current code.
This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
used.
This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
somewhat working.

Impact: cleanup
* Come on, struct info? s/struct info/struct math_emu_info/
* Use struct pt_regs and kernel_vm86_regs instead of defining its own
register frame structure.

the intent of this patch is to ease the automated tracking of kernel
code quality - it's just much easier for us to maintain it if every file
in arch/x86 is supposed to be clean.
NOTE: it is a known problem of lindent that it causes some style damage
of its own, but it's a safe tool (well, except for the gcc array range
initializers extension), so we did the bulk of the changes via lindent,
and did the manual fixups in a followup patch.
the resulting math-emu code has been tested by Thomas Gleixner on a real
386 DX CPU as well, and it works fine.
