4 * Binary-rewriting of certain IA32 instructions, on notification by Xen.
5 * Used to avoid repeated slow emulation of common instructions used by the
6 * user-space TLS (Thread-Local Storage) libraries.
9 * Issues with the binary rewriting have caused it to be removed. Instead
10 * we rely on Xen's emulator to boot the kernel, and then print a banner
11 * message recommending that the user disables /lib/tls.
