Changelog says "unify struct", yet gdt_entry_t and gdt_desc_entry_t have fully
redundant information. Apparently anonymous structs aren't a thing (or I'm just
doing it wrong), but even so, fully unifying this is not hugely problematic for
the sole consumer.
Right, the unification is more between 32- and 64 bits.
"Unifying" the reply to both patches, the best thing to do is:
- always use gdt_entry_t as the argument
- use your definition of gdt_desc_entry_t and call it
gdt_system_desc_entry_t.
- read the type and, if needed, cast to gdt_system_desc_entry_t to "OR"
in the base4 field.
