Function tss_reference

kernel/src/gdt.rs:71–74

Function to extract a reference with static lifetime Mutex lock returns a MutexGuard, which dereferences to a reference with a lifetime tied to the mutex lock. This function casts the reference to have 'static lifetime which Descriptor::tss_segment expects. Note: Should not be used except in setting the TSS in the GDT
