pc64: ensure user pc is never set to a non-canonical address through setregisters
on intel processors, a general protection exception is fired if a non-canonical address is loaded into PC during SYSRET. this will cause the kernel to panic.
see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/649219 and the intel software developer manual for more information.
