I found the nested NMI documentation to be difficult to follow.
Improve the comments.

Returning to userspace is tricky: IRET can fail, and ESPFIX can
rearrange the stack prior to IRET.
The NMI nesting fixup relies on a precise stack layout and
atomic IRET. Rather than trying to teach the NMI nesting fixup
to handle ESPFIX and failed IRET, punt: run NMIs that came from
user mode on the normal kernel stack.
This will make some nested NMIs visible to C code, but the C
code is okay with that.
As a side effect, this should speed up perf: it eliminates an
RDMSR when NMIs come from user mode.

Now that do_nmi saves CR2, we don't need to save it in asm.

The error_entry/error_exit code to handle gsbase and whether we
return to user mdoe was a mess:
- error_sti was misnamed. In particular, it did not enable interrupts.
- Error handling for gs_change was hopelessly tangled the normal
usermode path. Separate it out. This saves a branch in normal
entries from kernel mode.
- The comments were bad.
Fix it up. As a nice side effect, there's now a code path that
happens on error entries from user mode. We'll use it soon.

Make the 64-bit syscall entry code a bit more readable:
- use consistent assembly coding style similar to the other entry_*.S files
- remove old comments that are not true anymore
- eliminate whitespace noise
- use consistent vertical spacing
- fix various comments
- reorganize entry point generation tables to be more readable
No code changed:

The 'system_call' entry points differ starkly between native 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels: on 32-bit kernels it defines the INT 0x80 entry point, while on
64-bit it's the SYSCALL entry point.
This is pretty confusing when looking at generic code, and it also obscures
the nature of the entry point at the assembly level.
So unangle this by splitting the name into its two uses:
system_call (32) -> entry_INT80_32
system_call (64) -> entry_SYSCALL_64
As per the generic naming scheme for x86 system call entry points:
entry_MNEMONIC_qualifier
where 'qualifier' is one of _32, _64 or _compat.

So we now have the following system entry code related
files, which define the following system call instruction
and other entry paths:
entry_32.S # 32-bit binaries on 32-bit kernels
entry_64.S # 64-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels
entry_64_compat.S # 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels

Create a new directory hierarchy for the low level x86 entry code:
arch/x86/entry/*
This will host all the low level glue that is currently scattered
all across arch/x86/.
Start with entry_64.S and entry_32.S.
