Perfectly good advice for a "normal" system call, but modify_ldt is very 
much a special case and is not at all simple to implement.

Ticket https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175985 is already open for 
this. Using modify_ldt on x86_64 is pretty unusual though so it doesn't 
look like there has been much headway in fixing it.
