    Just let that line stick out. Also, you can shorten it by renaming
    normal_regs to something much shorter - it is a local variable and the
    comment already explains everything you you can just as well have:

    struct pt_regs *r = (struct pt_regs *)this_cpu_read(cpu_tss.x86_tss.sp0) - 1;
