You wanna give me a quick run-down on x86 of CPL and Ring levels? It's
been bugging me. I know they're there and have a basic idea that they
control what a context can do, don't know what CPL stands for, and
there's a visible gap in my knowledge. I like to understand everything,
it makes things easier.
