Stivale's GDT used to be undocumented, stating: "Do not rely on the GDT provided by the bootloader". In general, setting up the CPU is a serial process, i.e. GDT -> IDT -> TSS -> syscalls.

I make stupid mistakes and my vision is terrible. Not a good combination.

NOTE: Never respond to my posts with "it's too hard".
