2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Aurelien Jarno patch 4e62417bf317504c0b85e0d7abd236f334f54eaf in mainline. The patch belows changes the access type to register from memory for instructions that are declared as SrcMem or DstMem, but have a ModR/M byte with Mod = 3. It fixes (at least) the lmsw and smsw instructions on an AMD64 CPU, which are needed for FreeBSD.
