* The below -8 is to reserve 8 bytes on top of the ring0 stack.
* This is necessary to guarantee that the entire "struct pt_regs"
* is accessable even if the CPU haven't stored the SS/ESP registers
* on the stack (interrupt gate does not save these registers
* when switching to the same priv ring).
* Therefore beware: accessing the xss/esp fields of the
* "struct pt_regs" is possible, but they may contain the
* completely wrong values.
