x86/gdt: Use bitfields for initialization
The GDT entry related code uses two ways to access entries via union fields: - bitfields - macros which initialize the two 16-bit parts of the entry by magic shift and mask operations. Clean it up and only use the bitfields to initialize and access entries. ( The old access patterns were partly done due to GCC optimizing bitfield accesses in a horrible way - that's mostly fixed these days and clarity of code in such low level accessors is very important. ) Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.
