Andi,

Here's another patch that is basically a copy from x86's boot/setup.S.
It makes the GDT limit the exact size that is needed. I tested this with
the same Xen test that broke the original 0x8000 size, and it booted just
fine.

Note, If you already pushed my previous patch. This patch should easily be
applied by manually removing the extra zero.
