Hi -
This patch set aims to remove the direct access to the 'a' and 'b' fields of 32-bit \
x86 descriptors. Static inline getters/setters are provided.
This is a resumbmit of a patch set I submitted several months ago[1]. My last patch \
set was a bit large, so I've tried to take a smaller bite this time and slowly build \
the cleanup effort over a series of patch sets.
Any and all comments, suggestions, and questions are welcome.
Thanks,
Joe Damato
