FWIW, I really like the trend of renaming the hardware structures in
such a way that it's clear that they *are* hardware structures.
It might also be nice to reference the relevant SDM sections on the
topic, or even to include a comment along the lines of how it get used.
This chunk from the SDM is particularly relevant:
"The TSS holds information important to 64-bit mode and that is not
directly related to the task-switch mechanism."
