+ * The first GDT descriptor is reserved as 'NULL descriptor'. As bits 0
+ * and 1 of a segment selector, i.e., the RPL bits, are NOT used to index
+ * GDT, selector values 0~3 all point to the NULL descriptor, thus values
+ * 0, 1, 2 and 3 are all valid NULL selector values.
+ *
+ * However IRET zeros ES, FS, GS, and DS segment registers if any of them
+ * is found to have any nonzero NULL selector value, which can be used by
+ * userspace in pre-FRED systems to spot any interrupt/exception by loading
+ * a nonzero NULL selector and waiting for it to become zero. Before FRED
+ * there was nothing software could do to prevent such an information leak.
+ *
+ * ERETU, the only legit instruction to return to userspace from kernel
+ * under FRED, by design does NOT zero any segment register to avoid this
+ * problem behavior.
+ *
+ * As such, leave NULL selector values 0~3 unchanged.
