    x86: Fix broken LDT access in VMI · de59985e
    Zachary Amsden authored
    After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a
    long time ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which
    occurred on the same line.  The result is a total failure of the JRE due
    to LDT selectors not working properly.
    
    This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very
    common, but the bug is quite serious.  It got introduced along with
    another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3eSigned-off-by: default avatarZachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com>
