[RFC PATCH v2 03/16] x86/kexec: Restore GDT on return from preserve_context kexec

[David Woodhouse]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The restore_processor_state() function explicitly states that "the asm code
that gets us here will have restored a usable GDT". That wasn't true in the
case of returning from a preserve_context kexec. Make it so.

Without this, the kernel was depending on the called function to reload an
appropriate GDT.
