H A Dgsseg.hdiff 92cbbadf73f45c5d8bb26ed8668ff59671ff21e6 Thu Jan 12 08:20:32 CET 2023 H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@zytor.com> x86/gsseg: Use the LKGS instruction if available for load_gs_index()

The LKGS instruction atomically loads a segment descriptor into the
%gs descriptor registers, *except* that %gs.base is unchanged, and the
base is instead loaded into MSR_IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which is exactly
what we want this function to do.
