Merging

Could I suggest this be merged into an article generally describing the IA-32 descripter tables, or one about memory protection? GDT is makes for a very short article, and theres a lot of other related stuff that would fit well into one article. Also I going to reference this article from the "IA-32 Intel(R) Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 3A: System Programming Guide". This is pretty much a gospel source. Available as a PDF from Intel(R) website

I propose merging Local Descriptor Table with Global Descriptor Table, at least. The two data structures are nearly identical, so it would make things easier for everyone (readers and editors alike) to have one article for both. That way, there's no need to guess whether differences between the pages are due to omission/error, or represent actual differences between the two data structures. (Or, you know, to even look for differences between the articles.)
