publically discussed. Both did what you say. The
one that didn't, wasn't publically discussed either
(the one that ended up in 2.6.12, in fact).
So it is a bit odd that you weren't able to find
the code that does what you say. :)

would appear to me, requires much less code changes: Instead of
allocating a separate stack to set intermediately, the 16-bit stack
segment could be mapped directly onto the normal, flat kernel stack,
Do you mean, eg, this?

ring1 stacks must be per-CPU.
I allocate it on a ring0 stack. Noone seem to
suggest that. Is this flawed for some reasons?
