[PATCH] x86_64: Fix SMP bootup with CONFIG_KDUMP enabled
o This fix was posted for i386 long back. Posting it for x86_64.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110380103229830&w=2
o This patch fixes the problem of secondary cpus boot up. This situation
is faced when kernel is built for default locations like 16MB and
onwards. In this configuration, only primary cpu (BP) comes and
secondary cpus don't boot.
o Problem occurs because in trampoline code, lgdt is not able to load the
GDT as it happens to be situated beyond 16MB. This is due to the fact
that cpu is still in real mode and default operand size is 16bit.
o This patch uses lgdtl instead of lgdt to force operand size to 32
instead of 16.
