Subject[PATCH] x86/boot: reduce one instruction by adding delta to gdtr's base address
Date
%ebp contains the address where it is loaded and gdtr's base address is
already set to "gdt" in compilation. It is fine to get the correct base
address by adding the delta to gdtr's base address.

This patch fixes the gdtr's base address by adding delta to it and saves
one instruction.
