This unbreaks recursive kprobes which didn't work anymore
due to an earlier patch which converted the debug entry point
to use an IST.
This also allows nesting of the debug entry point too.

This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
%gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
the INT1 handler's
[AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry
points]
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
debugger-free kernel doesn't need it

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
