Re: [coreboot] alix1c and v3

[ron minnich]

here's an interesting bug in
/home/rminnich/src/bios/coreboot-v3/util/x86emu/vm86.c
    	/* Dump zeros in the other segment registers */
    	"	mov	%ax, %es       	\n"
    	"	mov	%ax, %fs       	\n"
    	"	mov	%ax, %gs       	\n"
    	"	mov	$0x40, %ax	\n"<----------------------WHAT?
    	"	mov	%ax, %ds	\n"
    	"	mov	%cx, %ax	\n"

Why did somebody move 0x40 to the ds? That's not even a valid gdt selector?

Anybody know why this was done?
