New Revision: 256293
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/256293

Log:
  Sanitize the %eflags returned by BIOS routines.  Some BIOS routines enter
  protected mode and may leave protected-mode-specific flags like PSL_NT set
  when they return to real mode.  This can cause a fault when BTX re-enters
  protected mode after the BIOS mode returns.
