Ahh sorry another quick shot, no it is still "struct user_desc".

I was wrong since my asm include files come from a strange system 
configuration doing a complete asm copy.  Somehow this is needed with 
this kernel.  I'm not quite sure what really happened to the include 
files of if they are sane again ....

Anyway, the code seems ok.... sorry.   This might be a wise thing for a 
configure check, if user_desc is defined in asm/ldt.h ...
