    SYSENTER emulation is broken in several ways:
    1. It misses the case of 16-bit code segments completely (CVE-2015-0239).
    2. MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS is checked in 64-bit mode incorrectly (bits 0 and 1 can
       still be set without causing #GP).
    3. MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP and MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP are not masked in
       legacy-mode.
    4. There is some unneeded code.
    
    Fix it.
