Subject: vgabios: Attempt to detect old x86emu and force a fault.
Upstream-Commit: 8032b8a0fec550de5cb2f7d37aa031cebc2200c3
Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/737142
Check for cases where the leal instruction does not work. This
instruction is known to not be emulated properly on old versions of
x86emu. If a broken version of x86emu is found, force a fault that
x86emu will easily detect. This should help prevent soft failures
when running old software.
