New Revision: 318761
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/318761

Log:
  Remove the BSD/OS 2.1 system call gate LDT entry.
  
  An extra copy of the system call gate was added to the default LDT back
  in 1996 (r18513 / r18514).  However, the ability to run BSD/OS 2.1
  i386 binaries under FreeBSD's native ABI is most likely no longer
  needed.
