- * This is the fastest way to check whether regs come from user space.
- * It is unsafe if regs might come from vm86 mode, though -- in vm86
- * mode, all bits of CS and SS are completely under the user's control.
- * The CPU considers vm86 mode to be CPL 3 regardless of CS and SS.

- * Do NOT use this function unless you have already ruled out the

- * We check for RPL != 0 instead of RPL == 3 because we don't use rings
- * 1 or 2 and this is more efficient.
