[RFC PATCH] x86/ldt: Rename ldr_struct.size to .n_entries

[Borislav Petkov]

Hey guys,

do you have anything against the below renaming?

ldt->size is simply confusing while it wants to be called ldt->n_entries
as it is used like this throughout the code.

Let me know before I go and run it to check I'm not breaking anything.

Thanks!

... because this is exactly what it is: the number of entries in the
LDT. Calling it "size" is simply confusing and it is actually begging to
be called "n_entries" or somesuch if you see constructs like:

	alloc_size = size * LDT_ENTRY_SIZE;

since LDT_ENTRY_SIZE is the size of a single entry.

There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch.
