asm/page.h is disappearing from the libc headers and we don't need it anyway.

The calculation of CONFIG_STUB_CODE and CONFIG_STUB_DATA didn't take into
account anything but 3G/1G and 2G/2G, leaving the other vmsplits out in the
cold.
I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these
symbols. I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace
address.
The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I
moved this to as-layout.h. CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and
CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone. In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and
STUB_START in as-layout.h.
i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int
or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed
consistently. However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work
so well. So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S. I
also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h.
With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_*
to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*.
defconfig has the old symbols deleted.
I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on
the host.
The two stub.S files had some trailing whitespace, so that is cleaned up here.

UML skas0 stub has been miscompiling for many people (incidentally not
the authors), depending on the used GCC versions.
I think (and testing on some GCC versions shows) this patch avoids the
fundamental issue which is behind this, namely gcc using the stack when
we have just replaced it, behind gcc's back. The remapping and storage
of the return value is hidden in a blob of asm, hopefully giving gcc no
room for creativity.

On some systems, libc PAGE_SIZE calls getpagesize, which can't happen from a
stub. So, I use UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE, which is less variable in its definition,
instead.

We have a bug in the i386 stub_syscall6 which pushes ebp before the system
call and pops it afterwards. Because we use syscall6 to remap the stack, the
old contents of the stack (and the former value of ebp) are no longer
available. Some versions of gcc make from a real local, accessed through ebp,
despite my efforts to make it obvious that references to from are really
constants. This patch attempts to make it even more obvious by eliminating
from and using a macro to access the stub's data explicitly with constants.
My original thinking on this was to replace syscall6 with a remap_stack
interface which saved ebp someplace and restored it afterwards. The problem
is that there are no registers to put it in, except for esp. That could work,
since we can store a constant in esp after the mmap because we just replaced
the stack. However, this approach seems a tad cleaner.

This patch implements the clone-stub mechanism, which allows skas0 to run
with proc_mm==0, even if the clib in UML uses modify_ldt.
Note: There is a bug in skas3.v7 host patch, that avoids UML-skas from
running properly on a SMP-box. In full skas3, I never really saw problems,
but in skas0 they showed up.
More commentary by jdike - What this patch does is makes sure that the host
parent of each new host process matches the UML parent of the corresponding
UML process. This ensures that any changed LDTs are inherited. This is
done by having clone actually called by the UML process from its stub,
rather than by the kernel. We have special syscall stubs that are loaded
onto the stub code page because that code must be completely
self-contained. These stubs are given C interfaces, and used like normal C
functions, but there are subtleties. Principally, we have to be careful
about stack variables in stub_clone_handler after the clone. The code is
written so that there aren't any - everything boils down to a fixed
address. If there were any locals, references to them after the clone
would be wrong because the stack just changed.
