[PATCH v10 01/13] x86/insn-eval: Extend get_seg_base_addr() to also obtain segment limit

From: Ricardo Neri
Date: Fri Oct 27 2017 - 19:53:18 EST


In protected mode, it is common to want to obtain the limit of a segment
along with its base address. This is useful, for instance, to verify that
an effective address lies within a segment before computing a linear
address.

Up to this point, this library only computes linear addresses in long
mode. Subsequent patches will include support for protected mode. Support
to verify the segment limit will be needed.
