 i talked to zander who is responsible for the freebsd nvidia driver and he
 said the following about this PR:
 
 "the two libnvidia-tls libraries support different TLS models: the one
 currently shipped with the NVIDIA FreeBSD graphics driver supports the
 old-style TLS model, the tls/ one the new ELF TLS model. The crashes you were
 seeing were not due to a problem with the Linux emulation layer. Future NVIDIA
 FreeBSD graphics driver releases will automatically determine which library to
 install."
 
 so even if the modify_ldt() linux syscall isn't implemented properly, this PR
 is not related to it.
 
 oh...btw: there have been some changes to modify_ldt() in HEAD. i think
 running the linux test project now passes that syscall.
 
 cheers.
