14  * This is a very simple series of tests that makes system calls with
15  * the TF flag set.  This exercises some nasty kernel code in the
16  * SYSENTER case: SYSENTER does not clear TF, so SYSENTER with TF set
17  * immediately issues #DB from CPL 0.  This requires special handling in
18  * the kernel.
