[PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequence
Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.
