[PATCH v2 5/9] x86/desc: add native_[ig]dt_invalidate() to <asm/desc.h>

From: H. Peter Anvin
Date: Fri May 14 2021 - 21:44:35 EST


From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

In some places, we want the native forms of descriptor table
invalidation. Rather than open-coding them, add explicitly native
functions to invalidate the GDT and IDT.
