In my eyes it makes sense because i386 is a minority architecture at
this point, and 'nobody' wants to care about how its different if they
don't have to.

Yes, I change the way stack layout works on i386, and yes that affects a
lot of code. _However_ all of that code is now more like x86_64 than it
was.
Earlier you said that kernel_stack_pointer() was a horrible thing; and
most/all the code that I ended up touching was similarly horrible.
Would you consider my approach later on, under the guise of unification?
We can work on it for a while, and make sure all the iffy bits are
sorted, no need to rush?
