Description

_From [bruen...@google.com](https://code.google.com/u/109494838902877177630/) on March 28, 2014 21:32:08_
- It seems that the kernel does not swap our entries, so we are currently
- creating separate entries per thread -- but we only need to save the
- ones the app might use which we assume will be <= 3.

Originally I thought our LDT slot would be swapped. This issue covers investigating further.
