x86_64: build and use GDT on copied compressed kernel

x86_64-build-and-use-gdt-on-copied-compressed-kernel.patch
This patch was dropped because Eric had issues

Subject: x86_64: build and use GDT on copied compressed kernel
From: "Yinghai Lu" <yhlu.kernel@xxxxxxxxx>
In arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/head.S it switches to 64 bit mode and then
copies the compressed image to a higher address then jumps to the copied
image, then decompressed the compressed image to final uncompressed kernel and
it may overlapped with original loaded compressed kernel image.
Before jumping to 64 bit mode, it will create new page table in some place
higher in copied compressed kernel image. But it still uses the GDT in place
of original loaded compressed image. So the GDT will be overwriten in the
middle of decompressing.
So we could change to build the GDT like page table together with copied
compressed kernel.
