Zeroing of RPL in null selectors is an information leak in pre-FRED systems.  Userspace can spot any interrupt/exception by loading a nonzero NULL selector, and waiting for it to drop to zero. Userspace should not be able to do this; Andy and I lobbied for this during the design of FRED, and Intel agreed. Right now, this change is codifying the problem behaviour we were trying to fix out under FRED. Under FRED, if userspace loads e.g. 2 into a selector, it should remain 2 until userspace changes it to something else. ~Andrew
