[PATCH] i386: Initialize the per-CPU data area
When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it. The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.
This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init(). Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs. This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.
In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.
