When porting a new OS to xen (using 2.0.7) is it possible to use the builtin
GDT for all your purposes, or do you have to create a new one if you want to
work with anything but the descriptors that are already in the xen provided
one. 
If you can use the builtin one, how do you access the GDT? Is it in the 64M
reserved address space?
Regards
Ivan Kelly
