When a null selector is to be loaded into a segment register, reload_segments() sets its DPL bits to 3. Later when the IRET instruction loads it, it zeros the segment register. The two operations offset each other to actually effect a nop. Unlike IRET, ERETU does not make any of DS, ES, FS, or GS null if it is found to have DPL < 3. It is expected that a FRED-enabled operating system will return to ring 3 (in compatibility mode) only when those segments all have DPL = 3. Thus when FRED is enabled, we end up with having 3 in a segment register even when it is initially set to 0. Fix it by not modifying the DPL bits for a null selector.
