According to Intel SDM Vol3 Section 5.5 "Privilege Levels" and 5.6
"Privilege Level Checking When Accessing Data Segments" RPL checking is
done during loading of a segment selector, not during data access. We
already do checking during segment selector loading, so drop the check
during data access. Checking RPL during data access triggers #GP if
after transition from real mode to protected mode RPL bits in a segment
selector are set.
