Now, I'm curious to what exactly is this fixing? The intermediate value is the S_IALLUGO bits cleared. Doesn't that mean that nothing has permission?
It's not a big deal if that's the case, as it just means things are locked down a bit more than normal.
My question is, do we really care, and why should we?
