Amazing how Intel has so many ways to handle entry to privileged "contexts"
that people easily get confused... yet all of them seem to lose in one
fashion or another. Makes me wonder who they ripped the new "sysenter" off
from. :-) (And how *it* will manage to lose, aside from the nonexistent
backward compatibility.)
