Convert x86-64 to use r10 as current. This results in a significant code
size savings for the kernel at the expense of reloading r10 on entry from
interrupts or userland. No benchmarks that I am aware of show regressions
with this change. Improvements are nothing exceptional, but the cachelines
touched by the kernel are reduced.
