[PATCH 2/5] x86: replace magic numbers in GDT descriptors, part 1

From: Vegard Nossum
Date: Tue Dec 19 2023 - 10:14:03 EST


We'd like to replace all the magic numbers in various GDT descriptors
with new, semantically meaningful, symbolic values.

In order to be able to verify that the change doesn't cause any actual
changes to the compiled binary code, I've split the change into two
patches:

Part 1 (this commit): everything _but_ actually replacing the numbers
Part 2 (the following commit): _only_ replacing the numbers

These two commits may be squashed together when merged.

The reason we need this split for verification is that including new
headers causes some spurious changes to the object files, mostly line
number changes in the debug info but occasionally other subtle codegen
changes.
