I was looking at GDT updates in the Linux kernel and noticed some redundant code in initialization of the per-CPU GDT. This code is no longer necessary or commented, so I removed it. Basically, the code was trying to unbusy the TSS descriptor (which the set_tss_desc and __set_tss_desc functions already do by setting the descriptor type). This change saves only 20 bytes of space and makes the code more readable and maintainable. Version: patched against 2.6.8.1-mm1 Testing: compile and boot a Linux 2.6 kernel with my patch.
