We check the TSS descriptor before we try to dereference it.
Also we document what the value '9' actually means using the
AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2, pg 90:
"Hex value 9: Available 64-bit TSS" and pg 91:
"The available 32-bit TSS (09h), which is redefined as the
available 64-bit TSS."
Without this, on Xen, where the GDT is available as R/O (to
protect the hypervisor from the guest modifying it), we end up
with a pagetable fault.
