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.)
