[PATCH 19/39] NLKD/x86-64 - stack-pointer-invalid markers

This adds static information about the code regions where the stack
pointer cannot be relied upon. Kernel debuggers may then use this
information to determine which stack to switch to when having a need
to switch off of namely the NMI stack.
