[PATCH 2/3] x86: Use linker to offset symbols by __per_cpu_load

From: Brian Gerst
Date: Sun Feb 08 2009 - 09:58:58 EST


Impact: cleanup and bug fix

Use the linker to create symbols for certain per-cpu variables
that are offset by __per_cpu_load. This allows the removal of
the runtime fixup of the GDT pointer, which fixes a bug with
resume reported by Jiri Slaby.
