| |
We currently have CPU 0's GDT at the top of the GDT range and higher-numbered CPUs at lower addresses. This happens because the fixmap is upside down (index 0 is the top of the fixmap).
Flip it so that GDTs are in ascending order by virtual address. This will simplify a future patch that will generalize the GDT remap to contain multiple pages.
