    x86/insn-eval: Extend get_seg_base_addr() to also obtain segment limit · 71271269
    Ricardo Neri authored
    In protected mode, it is common to want to obtain the limit of a segment
    along with its base address. This is useful, for instance, to verify that
    an effective address lies within a segment before computing a linear
    address.
    
    Up to this point, this library only computes linear addresses in long
    mode. Subsequent patches will include support for protected mode. Support
    to verify the segment limit will be needed.
