6e16d89bcd Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0
struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.

Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

153d5f2e57 x86: use generic register names in struct user_regs_struct
Switch struct user_regs_struct (defined in <asm/user.h>, which is no
longer exported to userspace) to using register names without e- or
r-prefixes for both 32 and 64 bit x86.  This is intended as a
preliminary step in unifying this code between architectures.

Also, be a bit more strict in truncating 32-bit "extended" segment
register values to 16 bits.
