Two complaints against this patch (to be fixed afterwards, so I'm not CC'ing
akpm):
*) It reverts my cleanup and consolidation of ldt.c wrt. SKAS vs TT.
Or at least so I think (I must still give a proper look afterwards, and I'll
post patches). Actually it seems that this is done on purpose, but I don't
agree too much on this. I will see.
*) Doesn't compile on old GCC's - it uses anonymous unions:
(it's asm-um/ldt-i386.h).

Suggestions for almost free replacement of anonymous union:
