    x86: unify desc_struct · 6842ef0e

    This patch aims to make the access of struct desc_struct variables
    equal across architectures. In this patch, I unify the i386 and x86_64
    versions under an anonymous union, keeping the way they are accessed
    untouched (a and b for 32-bit code, individual bit-fields for 64-bit).
    
    This solution is not beautiful, but will allow us to integrate common
    code that differed by the way descriptors were used. This is to be viewed
    incrementally. There's simply too much code to be fixed at once.
    
    In the future, goal is to set up in a single way of acessing
    the desc_struct fields.
