Cleaning up descriptor patch
...RPL off and combines the segments together to test for faults
before setting the pnp_bios_is_utter_crap variable. In this case, we
can simply test:
if (likely((seg & 0xe8) == __KERNEL_CS)
and be done with any RPL masking at all. Perhaps this is best put in a
macro in segment.h,
#define SEGMENT_IS_FLAT_CODE(x) (((x) & 0xe8) == GDT_ENTRY_KERNEL_CS * 8)
Also, note the segment check for PnP faults is broken, as it masks off
the TI bit, thus returning false positives for LDT entries (which are
fortunately unused by the kernel).

[patch 0/8] Basic infrastructure patches for a paravirtualized kernel
Hi Andrew,
This series of patches lays the basic ground work for the
paravirtualized kernel patches coming later on. I think this lot is
ready for the rough-and-tumble world of the -mm tree.
The main change from the last posting is that all the page-table
related patches have been moved out, and will be posted separately.
Also, the off-by-one in reserving the top of address space has been
