i386 and x86_64 used two different schemes for maintaining the gdt.
With this patch, x86_64 initial gdt table is defined in a .c file,
same way as i386 is now. Also, we call it "gdt_page", and the descriptor,
"early_gdt_descr". This way we achieve common naming, which can allow for
more code integration.

Fix this symbol export problem:
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 193 modules
ERROR: "csum_partial" [fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2
This is due to a known weakness of symbol exports: if a symbol's
only in-core user is an EXPORT_SYMBOL from a lib-y section, the
symbol is not linked in.
The solution is to move the export to x8664_ksyms_64.c - but the real
solution would be to fix kbuild.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

With paravirualization, hypervisors needs to handle the gdt,
that was right to this point only used at very early
inialization code. Hypervisors (lguest being the current case)
are commonly modules, so make it an export
