[PATCH v4 02/10] x86: tss: Eliminate fragile calculation of TSS segment limit

From: Josh Triplett
Date: Sun Nov 02 2014 - 12:32:22 EST


__set_tss_desc has a complex calculation of the TSS segment limit,
duplicating the quirky details of the I/O bitmap array length, and
requiring a complex comment to explain. Replace that calculation with a
simpler one based on the offsetof the "stack" field that follows the
array.

That then removes the last use of IO_BITMAP_OFFSET, so delete it.
