This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related changes: 1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with __KERNEL_PDA. 2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register state can be accessed. Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space). 3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the register state in a signal context. 4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since iBCS stopped being supported. This means it is now possible to actually set an empty LDT segment. In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register. If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL descriptor.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
