fa0c864d99 x86: cleanup - eliminate numbers in LDT allocation code
This patch eliminates numbers in LDT allocation code
trying to make it clear to understand from where
these numbers come.

No code changed:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1896       0       0    1896     768 ldt.o.before
   1896       0       0    1896     768 ldt.o.after
md5:
 6cbec8705008ddb4b704aade60bceda3  ldt.o.before.asm
 6cbec8705008ddb4b704aade60bceda3  ldt.o.after.asm

4dbf7af644 x86: adjust/fix LDT handling for Xen
Based on patch from Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>.

Don't rely on kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) returning PAGE_SIZE aligned memory
(Xen requires GDT *and* LDT to be page-aligned). Using the page
allocator interface also removes the (albeit small) slab allocator
overhead. The same change being done for 64-bits for consistency.

Further, the Xen hypercall interface expects the LDT address to be
virtual, not machine.

[ Adjusted to unified ldt.c - Jeremy ]

80fbb69a8d x86: introduce fill_ldt
This patch introduces fill_ldt(), which populates a ldt descriptor
from a user_desc in once, instead of relying in the LDT_entry_a and
LDT_entry_b macros
