:I have a patch for sys/i386/include/segments.h and sys/i386/i386/machdep.c
:which changes LUDATA_SEL from 4 to 5 (why 5? Why not?) and provides for
:system call entries via LDT entry 4 (termed LSOL26CALLS_SEL at present).

Unless you think you'll have the solaris emulation done by the 3.0.1
release, I would recommend waiting until the source tree split
before commiting this change. I can't think of any specific problems
that might occur but I don't think a month is long enough to test
something like this and while the direct LDT references are constrained
to a few files in i386, those files are pretty convoluted and it's
a pretty scary change to make.
