 Subject: avoid ifdefs in desc.h, getting rid of pack_ldt and pack_tss
 From: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

i have removed this patch from x86.git. Btw., note the advantage of

but vmlinux before/after size comparison shows:

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 8802894 1224910 3526656 13554460         ced31c vmlinux.before
