these cleanups are very nice too. I only have minor style nits: e.g. the 
above is more readable as:

> +static inline unsigned long get_desc_base(struct desc_struct *desc)
> +{
> +	struct desc_internal_struct *dint = desc_internal(desc);

same for the remaining inline files.

also, these should quite likely be non-inlined functions - leading to 
even more compact code. I'd suggest to put them into a new 
arch/i386/kernel/segments.c file.
