[PATCH] i386: Profile pc badness

Profile_pc was broken when using paravirtualization because the
assumption the kernel was running at CPL 0 was violated, causing
bad logic to read a random value off the stack.

The only way to be in kernel lock functions is to be in kernel
code, so validate that assumption explicitly by checking the CS
value.  We don't want to be fooled by BIOS / APM segments and
try to read those stacks, so only match KERNEL_CS.

I moved some stuff in segment.h to make it prettier.
