[vbox-dev] Virtualbox don't restore FPU segments with 32-bit guests while using xsave/xrstor

[Michal Necasek]

    Hi Quentin,

  Thank you for the patch!

  Unfortunately (?) I can't reproduce the problem that was originally 
fixed. Could you please provide a bit more information? What's the host 
OS, guest OS, host CPU type? How to reproduce the problem?

     Regards,
       Michal
