So this is not just slightly buggy, it's fundamentally 
wrong as well as it removes the possibility of an RSP value 
optimization from the 64-bit path, see my previous mail.

The right solution would be to make SAVE_ARGS recognize 
when KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET == args-offset and omit the RSP 
fixup in that case, or to simply use a __SAVE_ARGS for the 
64-bit path, knowing that RSP has the right value already.

Please also add comments that explain the relationship 
between percpu::kernel_stack, KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET and the 
64-bit system call entry code.

Also, guys, please slow down a bit and be more careful. 
Andy, could you please send me all currently pending entry 
bits pending in your tree, because all the in-flight 
changes make it hard for me to review patches? Please 
(re-)send all patches as well as part of the submission.

Thanks,

        Ingo
