Hi Marcelo,
thank you for your fast response.

Yes, this would be more elegant, ->but<- not exact at least on Intel.
(http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/manual/64-ia-32-architectures-software-developer-manual-325462.pdf)
4-586 Vol. 2B or PDF-page 1804
"[...] (* Not in 64-Bit Mode or SYSCALL/SYSRET not enabled in IA32_EFER
*) [...]"

We have to check somehow cpu-vendor to get info what cpu should be
emulated...
...I'll prepare a patch by tomorrow reordering things and compacting
checks on AMD's branch.
(obviously cpuid 0x80000001 edx bit 11 needs not to be checked, as far
as the pseudocode tells... )

regards Stephan
