    Subject[PATCH 04/43] x86/gdt: Put per-cpu GDT remaps in ascending order
    Date
    From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

    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.
