Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] x86/tls: create an explicit config symbol for the TLS area in the GDT

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...ux.intel.com>

Instead of using X86_32 || IA32_EMULATION, which is really rather ugly
in the Makefile especially, create a dedicated config symbol for the
TLS area.  This will be further used in subsequent patches.
