Thomas Gleixner 64b163fab6 x86/idt: Unify gate_struct handling for 32/64-bit kernels
The first 32 bits of gate struct are the same for 32 and 64 bit kernels.

The 32-bit version uses desc_struct and no designated data structure,
so we need different accessors for 32 and 64 bit kernels.

Aside of that the macros which are necessary to build the 32-bit
gate descriptor are horrible to read.

Unify the gate structs and switch all code fiddling with it over.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
