[PATCH] x86: introduce a write acessor for updating the current LDT

Browse Source 
Introduce a write acessor for updating the current LDT.  This is required
for hypervisors like Xen that do not allow LDT pages to be directly
written.

Testing - here's a fun little LDT test that can be trivially modified to
test limits as well.
