Subjectfree entry in gdt_table

Hello

I have a doubt, in kernels like 2.4.18 the second entry in gdt is not used

ENTRY(gdt_table)
.quad 0x0000000000000000 /* NULL descriptor */
.quad 0x0000000000000000 /* not used */
.quad 0x00cf9a000000ffff /* 0x10 kernel 4GB code at 0x00000000 */

there are 4 bytes lost!

Why?
