  Modified:    sys/i386/i386  genassym.c machdep.c trap.c
               sys/i386/include  pcb.h
  Log:
  No longer use an i386tss as the basis of our pcb - it wasn't particularly
  convenient and makes life difficult for my next commit.  We still need
  an i386tss to point to for the tss slot in the gdt, so we use a common
  tss shared between all processes.
  
  Note that this is going to break debugging until this series of commits
  is finished.  core dumps will change again too. :-(  we really need
  a more modern core dump format that doesn't depend on the pcb/upages.
  
  This change makes VM86 mode harder, but the following commits will remove
  a lot of constraints for the VM86 system, including the possibility of
  extending the pcb for an IO port map etc.
