[PATCH] i386: cleanup after cpu_gdt_descr conversion toper-cpu data

[Jan Beulich]

With cpu_gdt_descr having been converted to per-CPU data, the old object (in
head.S) no longer needs to reserve space for each CPU's instance.
With cpu_gdt_table not being used for CPU 0 anymore, it doesn't seem to need
page alignment (or if in fact there is a need for it to retain that alignment,
the whole object should go into .data.page_align).
