x86: move x86_64 gdt closer to i386
i386 and x86_64 used two different schemes for maintaining the gdt.
With this patch, x86_64 initial gdt table is defined in a .c file,
same way as i386 is now. Also, we call it "gdt_page", and the descriptor,
"early_gdt_descr". This way we achieve common naming, which can allow for
more code integration.
