[Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/4] x86/desc: Build boot_{,compat_}gdt[] in C



... where we can at least get the compiler to fill in the surrounding space
without having to do it manually.  This also reults in the symbols having
proper type/size information in the debug symbols.

Reorder 'raw' in the seg_desc_t union to allow for easier initialisation.

Leave a comment explaining the various restrictions we have on altering the
GDT layout.

No functional change.

There is plenty more cleanup which can be done in the future.  As we are
64-bit, there is no need for load_TR() to keep the TSS in sync between the two
GDTs, which means it can drop all sgdt/lgdt instructions.  Also,
__HYPERVISOR_CS32 is unused and could be dropped.

As is demonstrated by the required includes, asm/desc.h is a tangle in need of
some cleanup.

The SYSEXIT GDT requirements are:
  R0 long code, R0 data, R3 compat code, R3 data, R3 long code, R3 data.

We could make Xen compatible by shifting the R0 code/data down by one slot,
moving R0 compat code elsewhere and replacing it with another R3 data.

However, this seems like a fairly pointless exercise, as the only thing it
will do is change the magic numbers which developers have become accustom to
seeing in backtraces.
