Replace irq_stack_union with new implementation

The irq_stack is no longer within a irq_stack_union
but separated into the irq_stack struct and the fixed_percpu_data struct
This change was made with the following series of commits:

-The first `irq_stack` field is a 16 kilobytes array. Also you can see that `irq_stack_union` contains a structure with the two fields:
+The `irq_stack` struct contains 16 kilobytes array.  
+Also, you can see that the fixed\_percpu\_data contains two fields:
 
-* `gs_base` - The `gs` register always points to the bottom of the `irqstack` union. On the `x86_64`, the `gs` register is shared by per-cpu area and stack canary (more about `per-cpu` variables you can read in the special [part](https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/Concepts/linux-cpu-1.html)).  All per-cpu symbols are zero-based and the `gs` points to the base of the per-cpu area. You already know that [segmented memory model](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_segmentation) is abolished in the long mode, but we can set the base address for the two segment registers - `fs` and `gs` with the [Model specific registers](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-specific_register) and these registers can be still be used as address registers. If you remember the first [part](https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/Initialization/linux-initialization-1.html) of the Linux kernel initialization process, you can remember that we have set the `gs` register:
