Subject: [PATCH 18/21] i386 Ldt cleanups 2
Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 20:38:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200511080438.jA84cY0X009945@zach-dev.vmware.com> (raw)
Add an acessor function to get a pointer to an LDT descriptor. Add one for
the GDT too, while we are here, and a function to tell the difference.
Turns out on some GCC versions, converting to char * and back gives better
code output than gdt[seg >> 3]. Lets keep that trick in the header file
so the C-code can be clean.
Not used yet, but soon.
