Take a look at the patch I posted previously.
Once we remove the other VT realmode hacks, we may need more instructions emulated. Consider for example changing to real mode without reloading fs and gs; this will cause all real mode code to be emulated. However, there's no need to do everything at once; the loop can certainly be added later when we have a proven need for it. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
