SubjectEarly memory patch, revised
Hi all,

This is the latest version of the i386 early memory cleanup patch. It
has the additional advantage that it removes some of the special casing
for VISWS -- this is still untested; if you have access to a VISWS
*please* test this out.

The main difference other than the VISWS code is that it always sets up
the GDT. I agree with Eric this is a lot cleaner.
