[sir_richard] 45282: [NTOS/PERF]: Enable VME support. VME stands for Virtual 8086 Mode Extensions, and it's an Intel optimization that makes changes to the IF bit in EFLAGS (CLI, STI, INT, IRETD, PUSHF, POPF) completely transprent: instead of changing the real (protected) bit, which requires the OS to trap and emulate the behavior, the CPU sets a "Fake" IF bit instead. When you're dong in V8086 mode, you simply update your real flag with whatever the fake flag says. [NTOS]: Enable V8086 Fast-V86
