[PATCH 3/6] x86-32: Set %fs to __KERNEL_PERCPU unconditionally

From: Brian Gerst
Date: Tue Jan 20 2009 - 08:16:41 EST


%fs is currently set to __KERNEL_DS at boot, and conditionally
switched to __KERNEL_PERCPU for secondary cpus. Instead, initialize
GDT_ENTRY_PERCPU to the same attributes as GDT_ENTRY_KERNEL_DS and
set %fs to __KERNEL_PERCPU unconditionally.
