[PATCH 09/28] Fix UP gdt bugs

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Sat Apr 14 2007 - 17:27:27 EST


Fixes two problems with the GDT when compiling for uniprocessor:
- There's no percpu segment, so trying to load its selector into %fs fails.
Use a null selector instead.
- The real gdt needs to be loaded at some point. Do it in cpu_init().
