The 64-bit kernel will already load a GDT in startup_64, which is the next function to execute after return from efi_main. Add GDT setup code to the 32-bit kernel's startup_32 as well. Doing it in the head code has the advantage that we can avoid potentially corrupting the GDT during copy/decompression. This also removes dependence on having a specific GDT layout setup by the bootloader. Both startup_32 and startup_64 now clear interrupts on entry, so we can remove that from efi_main as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
