x86 null segments not always treated as unusable

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The Xen x86 emulator erroneously failed to consider the unusability of segments when performing memory accesses. The intended behaviour is as follows: The user data segment %ds, %es, %fs and %gs selectors may be NULL in 32-bit to prevent access. In 64-bit, NULL has a special...
