  SVN rev 213382 on 2010-10-03 13:52:17Z by kib
  
  The makectx() function, used by kdb_trap() to reconstruct pcb from
  trap frame when trap initiated kdb entry, incorrectly calculated the
  value of %rsp for trapped thread.
  
  According to Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
  Volume 3A: System Programming Guide, Part 1, rev. 035, 6.14.2 64-Bit Mode
  Stack Frame, "64-bit mode ... pushes SS:RSP unconditionally, rather than
  only on a CPL change."
  Even assuming the conditional push of the %ss:%rsp, the calculation
  was still wrong because sizeof(tf_ss) + sizeof(tf_rsp) == 16 on amd64.
  
  Always use the tf_rsp from trap frame. The change supposedly fixes
  stepping when using kgdb backend for kdb.
