[PATCH 18/21] i386 Ldt cleanups 2

[Zachary Amsden]

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.
