[PATCH v6 04/27] x86, boot: Move lldt/ltr out of 64bit code section

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Thu Dec 13 2012 - 17:06:56 EST


commit 08da5a2ca

x86_64: Early segment setup for VT

add lldt/ltr to clean more segments.

Those code are put in code64, and it is using gdt that is only
loaded from code32 path.

That breaks booting with 64bit bootloader that does not go through
code32 path. It get at startup_64 directly, and it has different
gdt.

Move those lines into code32 after their gdt is loaded.
