The following instruction in procedure p2_s_call in file mpx286.x
is superfluous. It can safely be commented out of the code, thus
reducing the execution time of this frequently called function.
defsldt (_tss+TSS2_S_LDT)
It is possible that Bruce had intended to implement the hardware task
switching capabilities of the 286+ processors, in which case this
instruction would have been essential. Since task switching is done
in software, this instruction is of no consequence.
