Boot failure in 2.5.31 BK with new TLS patch

This is probably local to me since I've got a box which takes quad CPU cards
that has always been very picky about the GDT layout at boot. However, it's
been failing miserably with the new padding the TLS stuff introduces into the
boot time GDT.

I attach a patch that leaves the boot time %cs and %ds at their old values
(0x10 and 0x18), and shifts to the new GDT layout after the switch to
protected mode has been accomplished.

For those who don't have this GDT boot problem, it reduces the size of the
boot code by about 64 bytes.

===================================================================

ChangeSet@1.486, 2002-08-16 18:23:02-05:00, jejb@mulgrave.(none)
Separate boot GDT from runtime GDT. Allow small compact GDT at boot
for those PCs which have problems with big ones during the protected
mode transition.
