6b68f01baa x86: unify struct desc_ptr
This patch unifies struct desc_ptr between i386 and x86_64.
They can be expressed in the exact same way in C code, only
having to change the name of one of them. As Xgt_desc_struct
is ugly and big, this is the one that goes away.

There's also a padding field in i386, but it is not really
needed in the C structure definition.

00bf4098be kexec: add BSS to resource tree
Add the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel data are in
the resource tree.  The main reason behind this is to avoid crashkernel
reservation in that area.

While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree (the
actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function before),
the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user in /proc/iomem
just as Kernel data and Kernel code.

Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and ia64).

30c826451d [x86] remove uses of magic macros for boot_params access
Instead of using magic macros for boot_params access, simply use the
boot_params structure.
