Treat traps in kernel mode during the 'return to user' iret sequence
as user faults.
Based heavily in the i386 code with the correct opcode bytes inserted.
iret path tested, arranging for segment register errors is harder.
User %fs and %gs (32bit apps) are loaded much earlier and any errors
will generate kernel panics - there is probably code to try to stop
the invalid values being set.
If we get a fault setting the user %gs, or on a iret that is returning
to userspace, we must do a 'swapgs' to reload the kernel %gs_base.
Also save the %ds, %es, %fs, %gs selector values in the frame so
they can be restored if we finally return to user (probably after
an application SIGSEGV handler has fixed the error).
Without this any such fault leaves the kernel running with the wrong
%gs offset and it will most likely fault again early in trap().
Repeats until the stack tramples on something important.
iret change works, invalid %gs is a little harder to arrange.
