x86_64's saved_context nonsensically used separate idt_limit and idt_base fields and then cast &idt_limit to struct desc_ptr *. This was correct (with -fno-strict-aliasing), but it's confusing, served no purpose, and required #ifdeffery. Simplify this by using struct desc_ptr directly. No change in functionality.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
