Some extra logic is needed on i386 with >= 4GB.  Current code will

return value is eventually used as a long in enter_rmode()).

Is it necessary to initialize TR in enter_rmode?  I can't see anything
that says it has any meaning in real mode.


VT doesn't support real mode. kvm uses virtual-8086 mode to virtualize real mode. Virtual 8086 mode does require a task state segment.
