[tkreuzer] 35620: It's really not good coding style to pass an OUT parameter "by value" to a macro like Ke386GetGlobalDescriptorTable. The Funny thing is that due to a missing memory barrier this macro actually handled this like a "by value" parameter. Of cause this is totally incorrect and led to the strange results I was experiencing. Use __sgdt and __sidt instead and remove the old hack.

It's really not good coding style to pass an OUT parameter "by value" to a
macro like Ke386GetGlobalDescriptorTable. The Funny thing is that due to a missing memory
barrier this macro actually handled this like a "by value" parameter. Of cause
this is totally incorrect and led to the strange results I was experiencing.
Use __sgdt and __sidt instead and remove the old hack.
