x86/mpx: Support 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels
Right now, the kernel can only switch between 64-bit and 32-bit
binaries at compile time. This patch adds support for 32-bit
binaries on 64-bit kernels when we support ia32 emulation.
We essentially choose which set of table sizes to use when doing
arithmetic for the bounds table calculations.
This also uses a different approach for calculating the table
indexes than before. I think the new one makes it much more
clear what is going on, and allows us to share more code between
the 32-bit and 64-bit cases.
