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