This fix for the f00f bug is rather clever.
I didn't realize that these invalid instruction sequences
resulted in the calling of low interrupts, so a fix of this nature was
quite a surprise, for me anyway.
Anyone want to give any background on the fix in light of Alan's
BUGTRAQ announcement?
Exactly what happens to result in these interrupts being called?
