Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 29/32] x86/ia32: do not modify the DPL bits for a null selector
Date:   Thu, 23 Feb 2023 23:01:42 -0800

When a null selector is to be loaded into a segment register,
reload_segments() sets its DPL bits to 3. Later when the IRET
instruction loads it, it zeros the segment register. The two
operations offset each other to actually effect a nop.

Unlike IRET, ERETU does not make any of DS, ES, FS, or GS null
if it is found to have DPL < 3. It is expected that a FRED-enabled
operating system will return to ring 3 (in compatibility mode)
only when those segments all have DPL = 3.

Thus when FRED is enabled, we end up with having 3 in a segment
register even when it is initially set to 0.

Fix it by not modifying the DPL bits for a null selector.
