Changes in v2 from the cover letter
- Fix some nasty vm86 issues. v1 was a regression. v2 is an improvement over the status quo AFAICT.

- Get rid of the temporary ud2 hack.

Cover letter [RFC/PATCH v2 v2 0/6] x86_32: Migrate to new entry/exit paths
This is a review version of the 32-bit asm-to-C migration. I think it works, but it's not yet well enough tested. I'm a lot more familiar with the 64-bit asm than the 32-bit asm.
The vm86 stuff especially needs much more careful testing. Brian, since you're playing with vm86 now, can you take a look?
Changes from v1:
- Fix some nasty vm86 issues. v1 was a regression. v2 is an improvement over the status quo AFAICT.
- Add patch 1, which is probably worthwhile on its own.
- Get rid of the temporary ud2 hack.
