The D/B size flag for the 32-bit percpu GDT entry was not set.
The Intel manual (vol 3, section 3.4.5) only specifies the meaning of
this flag for three cases:
1) code segments used for %cs -- doesn't apply here
2) stack segments used for %ss -- doesn't apply
3) expand-down data segments -- but we don't have the expand-down flag
set, so it also doesn't apply here
The flag likely doesn't do anything here, although the manual does also
say: "This flag should always be set to 1 for 32-bit code and data
segments [...]" so we should probably do it anyway.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
