/*P:600 The x86 architecture has segments, which involve a table of descriptors
 * which can be used to do funky things with virtual address interpretation.
 * We originally used to use segments so the Guest couldn't alter the
 * Guest<->Host Switcher, and then we had to trim Guest segments, and restore
 * for userspace per-thread segments, but trim again for on userspace->kernel
 * transitions...  This nightmarish creation was contained within this file,
 * where we knew not to tread without heavy armament and a change of underwear.
 *
 * In these modern times, the segment handling code consists of simple sanity
 * checks, and the worst you'll experience reading this code is butterfly-rash
 * from frolicking through its parklike serenity. :*/

 * We've almost completed the Host; there's just one file to go!
 *
 * Segments & The Global Descriptor Table
 *
 * (That title sounds like a bad Nerdcore group.  Not to suggest that there are
 * any good Nerdcore groups, but in high school a friend of mine had a band
 * called Joe Fish and the Chips, so there are definitely worse band names).
 *
 * To refresh: the GDT is a table of 8-byte values describing segments.  Once
 * set up, these segments can be loaded into one of the 6 "segment registers".
 *
 * GDT entries are passed around as "struct desc_struct"s, which like IDT
 * entries are split into two 32-bit members, "a" and "b".  One day, someone
 * will clean that up, and be declared a Hero.  (No pressure, I'm just saying).
 *
 * Anyway, the GDT entry contains a base (the start address of the segment), a
 * limit (the size of the segment - 1), and some flags.  Sounds simple, and it
 * would be, except those zany Intel engineers decided that it was too boring
 * to put the base at one end, the limit at the other, and the flags in
 * between.  They decided to shotgun the bits at random throughout the 8 bytes,
 * like so:
 *
 * 0               16                     40       48  52  56     63
 * [ limit part 1 ][     base part 1     ][ flags ][li][fl][base ]
 *                                                  mit ags part 2
 *                                                part 2
 *
 * As a result, this file contains a certain amount of magic numeracy.  Let's
 * begin.
