Thread-topic: Stale comment about GDT indexes in arch-x86_32.h ?
I have a small question:

There are a couple of lines of the following format in arch-x86_32.h

#define FLAT_RING1_CS 0xe019 /* GDT index 259 */
#define FLAT_RING1_DS 0xe021 /* GDT index 260 */

And the comment just does not make any sense to me. 1c00 or e000 had
made sense. Is this just a stale comment for an earlier version of Xen
that just should be updated or am I missing something fundamental?

/Joakim
