From: Glauber de Oliveira Costa gcosta@redhat.com

commit ca241c75037b32e0216a68e39ad2801d04fa1f87 upstream.

Although slighly different, the tss_struct is very similar in x86_64 and i386. The really different part, which matchs the hardware vision of it, is now called x86_hw_tss, and each of the architectures provides yours. It's then used as a field in the outter tss_struct.
