If ss.unusable, do the dpl and rpl have any meaning?

There is no architectural way to break this. That is, without virtualization, there is no way a real cpu will ever have a limit of 0x12345678.

We need to distinguish between big real mode and real mode that can be virtualized using vm86, but we don't need to consider impossible setups.

About this, I'm not sure.

Even disregarding the incorrectness, you shouldn't duplicate code like this.

Architecturally impossible.
