Found some stray descriptor table accessors that had non-optimal assembler constraints. Use "q" to get word, high and low byte access without forcing a specific register constraint. Add desc as a memory output operand. Also, get_base was completely unused. Deprecate it. The function get_limit is also unused, but I did not deprecate it; it could be used in arch/i386/mm/fault.c.
