3.2.66-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 41bdc78544b8a93a9c6814b8bbbfef966272abbe upstream.
Installing a 16-bit RW data segment into the GDT defeats espfix.
AFAICT this will not affect glibc, Wine, or dosemu at all.
