Stephane Eranian b3cf257623 [PATCH] i386: use thread_info flags for debug regs and IO bitmaps 
Use thread info flags to track use of debug registers and IO bitmaps.

 - add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
 - add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
 - modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

Performance tested on Pentium II, ten runs of LMbench context switch
benchmark (smaller is better:)
