We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0.
This requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or
checking privilege level (user vs kernel).
I made some changes:
a. Added some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
b. Added a USER_RPL macro. (You were comparing a value to a mask
in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)
c. Changed the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros.
These changes look great. Ack-ed. I had some similar ones before that
never made it from my tree, as I got carried away and tried to unify the
user descriptor conversion functions... someday I'll get to it again.
