From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>
The FRED architecture establishes the full supervisor/user through:
1) FRED event delivery swaps the value of the GS base address and
that of the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.
2) ERETU swaps the value of the GS base address and that of the
IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.
Thus, the swapgs instruction is disallowed when FRED is enabled,
otherwise it causes #UD.
