Subject[PATCH v3 4/6] x86/gsseg: move local_irq_save/restore() into asm_load_gs_index()
Date
From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@zytor.com>

The need to disable/enable interrupts around asm_load_gs_index() is a
consequence of the implementation. Prepare for using the LKGS
instruction, which is locally atomic and therefore doesn't need
interrupts disabled.
