Seperate Page

Should we move this to its own page, instead of being part of your user page? Jack 19:26, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind that happening, at least, if nobody disagrees with that happening. --Stephanvanschaik 16:03, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

segment descriptor

Does read bit in long-mode code segment do something?

10011010b ; Access (exec/read)

Maybe cleaner variant is:

10011000b

I think same thing work with write bit in data segment

Add to expanded main page

The GDT link on the expanded main page also has a link to a GDT tutorial. Could this page benefit from being easier to get to from the main page in a similar way since it gives much more detail than the current x86_64 page that is already linked to.
