 New Revision: 256293
 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/256293
 
 Log:
   Sanitize the %eflags returned by BIOS routines.  Some BIOS routines enter
   protected mode and may leave protected-mode-specific flags like PSL_NT set
   when they return to real mode.  This can cause a fault when BTX re-enters
   protected mode after the BIOS mode returns.
