The i386_{get,set}_{ioperm,ldt} and i386_vm86 functions require various options to be present in the running kernel before they can be used, but the manual pages doesn't state this. I think they should. (I haven't actually tested the functions with and without the options present, I'm just trusting the source code to be right, and me not to have mis-read it.) Fix: There may be a better way to specify kernel options and so on...
