Re: [Xen-devel] 64-bit failsafe callback

Frankly I don't think the failsafe callback code is expected to work. I
did not see failsafe callback triggered in normal cases or did not have
test cases for that at the initial port. When I actually saw it, it was
caused by a porting bug in x86-64 XenLinux. If you have a valid case
where the failsafe callback should handle, we should fix it.
It can be triggered, for example by an application that creates an LDT,
sets %gs to refer to an entry in the LDT, then zaps that LDT entry.
I wouldn't expect it ever to be triggered in 'normal' operation though.
But if it's buggy it must be fixed. Fortunately, I think Jan is right
and it is fixed merely by deleting lines of code. :-)
