Here is the updated patch.  I renamed {read,write}_tp syscalls to 
[gs]et_thread_area.  Regarding the memory access issue in cmpxchg 
syscall, I looked through the mm/ files and it seems that checking for 
!pte_write() is the right way to fix the problem; so the patch fixes 
that too.

As I understand, this patch fixes all outstanding issues and is ready 
for merge.
