Use an aligned stack offset when entering on the extra stack
The size of 'struct bregs' is not evenly divisible by four and where
the assembler placed a 'struct bregs' on the extra stack as part of
entering into the C functions it caused the C functions to run with a
non-aligned stack. It's technically not correct to use an unaligned
stack and it is certainly less efficient.
This patch avoids using BREGS_size (the sizeof struct bregs) and
instead introduces PUSHBREGS_size (the size of the general purpose
registers in struct bregs) in the assembler. Where the code actually
did use the %cs:%ip and flags, an extra 8 (instead of 6) bytes are
added to maintain a sane alignment.
