[PATCH] i386: move kernel_thread_helper into entry.S
And add proper CFI annotation to it which was previously impossible. This prevents "stuck" messages by the dwarf2 unwinder when reaching the top of a kernel stack. Includes feedback from Jan Beulich Cc: jbeulich@novell.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
