From e6a9918c9617ed21f71f2f20b45efe06822c8f00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 00:11:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fixed pnp bios limits PnP BIOS data, code, and 32-bit entry segments all have fixed limits as well; set them in the GDT rather than adding more code. It would be nice to add these fixups to the boot GDT rather than setting the GDT for each CPU; perhaps I can wiggle this in later, but getting it in before the subsys init looks tricky. Also, make some progress on deprecating the ugly Q_SET_SEL macros.
