x86: Rework Global Descriptor Table loading

The inline assembler is ugly and uses hard coded magic numbers. Make it more
elegant to allow cleaner implementation of future GDT related patches. The
compiler seems smart enough to generate the same code anyway

--
Changes for v2:
 - Rebased against revised patch #3
 - Use GDT size define instead of magic number
 - Added commit message
