[PATCH] x86: GDT alignment fix
Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a
hypervisor. This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot
data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in
VMware.
Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT
(which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is
allocated dynamically.
