Suggest to import flat DS selector instead of computing it

[Lars Erdmann]

I just tried my suggestion to import the values from FlatCS and FlatDS from DOSCALLS and it works.
Looking at the code: you erroneously took the ADDRESS of the symbol (extrn DOSFLATDS: WORD) but the value is an ABSOLUTE value (extrn DOS32FLATDS:ABS).

Therefore:
\src\acpi\psd\makefile:
...
LIBRARY ACPI
;PROTMODE
;DATA PRELOAD SINGLE SHARED MOVABLE
;CODE PRELOAD MOVABLE
IMPORTS

DOS32FLATCS=DOSCALLS.369
DOS32FLATDS=DOSCALLS.370

EXPORTS

PSD_APP_COMM = _PSD_APP_COMM
PSD_INSTALL = _PSD_INSTALL
PSD_DEINSTALL = _PSD_DEINSTALL
PSD_INIT = _PSD_INIT
PSD_GET_NUM_OF_PROCS = _PSD_GET_NUM_OF_PROCS
PSD_PROC_INIT = _PSD_PROC_INIT
PSD_START_PROC = _PSD_START_PROC
PSD_GEN_IPI = _PSD_GEN_IPI
PSD_END_IPI = _PSD_END_IPI
PSD_IRQ_MASK = _PSD_IRQ_MASK
PSD_IRQ_REG = _PSD_IRQ_REG
PSD_IRQ_EOI = _PSD_IRQ_EOI
PSD_SET_ADV_INT_MODE = _PSD_SET_ADV_INT_MODE
PSD_RESET_MODE = _PSD_RESET_MODE
PSD_SET_PROC_STATE = _PSD_SET_PROC_STATE
PSD_PROC_HLT = _PSD_PROC_HLT

Let first check, then ask? DOS32FLATDS and DOS32FLATCS has wrong value for any loaded psd.

I am not sure I understand. I did check my suggestion: I changed makefile/code and rebuilt ACPI.PSD. I can say that I don't experience any unexpected effect.
Are you saying I have forgotten something ?
