Log Message:
-----------
When rebooting (exiting) from the BTX loader, make sure to restore the
GDT from the correct segment, otherwise a triple fault would be caused.
In some virtual environments (VMware, VirtualBox, etc) this could lead
to a unhandled error or hang in the guest emulation software.
Thanks to avg and jhb for a few hints in the right direction.
