Maybe that should be
@sel
if it is a sel-ector. :)
And using "sel" makes more sense then when you look at:
desc_base = sel & ~(SEGMENT_RPL_MASK | SEGMENT_TI_MASK);
for example:

Why isn't this function returning the pointer or NULL on error? Maybe
the later patches have an answer and I'll discover it if I continue
reviewing :)

That looks useless as you're doing it below again.

Is that really a fast path to complicate the if-test with an unlikely()?
If not, you don't really need it.

ldt->size is the size of the descriptor table but you've shifted seg by
3. That selector index is shifted by 3 (to the left) to form an offset
into the descriptor table because the entries there are 8 bytes.
So I *think* you wanna use the "useless" desc_base above... :)

... and seg here as it is an index into the table.

... because <insert reason I typed in above>.
