Sending in a sec.

Also, this is really weird. Unless I'm completely nuts, lsl is faster
in KVM than it is on bare metal. This makes me wonder whether
something's suboptimal about the way that the GDT is set up. sgdt is
faster, too. This is Sandy Bridge E, one socket. The difference is
big enough that tracking it down might be a significant win on context
switches. Any hints?
