[PATCH 20/21] i386 Ldt cleanups 3

From: Zachary Amsden
Date: Mon Nov 07 2005 - 23:42:18 EST


Big cleanup of LDT code. This code has very little type checking and is
not frequently used, so I audited the code, added type checking and size
optimizations to generate smaller assembly code. I changed the ldt count
to be in pages, and converted the char * ldt into a desc_struct.
