Now we have an explicit per-cpu GDT variable, we don't need to keep
the descriptors around to use them to find the GDT: expose cpu_gdt
directly.
We could go further and make load_gdt() pack the descriptor for us, or
even assume it means "load the current cpu's GDT" which is what it
always does.

Now we are no longer dynamically allocating the GDT, we don't need the
"cpu_gdt_table" at all: we can switch straight from "boot_gdt_table"
to the per-cpu GDT. This means initializing the cpu_gdt array in C.

Allocating PDA and GDT at boot is a pain. Using simple per-cpu

After lots of good feedback and contributions from the last series, this

This teaches scsi devices how to support "new style" hotplug/coldplug:
using a modalias sysfs attribute for coldplug, and MODALIAS environment

It also updates the CH, SD, SR, and ST drivers with the aliases needed to

(non-critical) bugfix.
