I think it was not noted before because this instruction is rarely used since nobody uses segmentation any more. In this case its just used as a hack to reload the CS register. The code snippet is part of the Fiasco.OC kernel I'm trying to run on gem5 (http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/fiasco/). If you want to have a closer look at the code, it's located in src/boot/amd64/boot_cpu.cc.
