    This only happens in 32-bit mode when VERW based mitigations like MDS/RFDS
    are enabled. This is because segment registers with an arbitrary user value
    can result in #GP when executing VERW. Intel SDM vol. 2C documents the
    following behavior for VERW instruction:
    
      #GP(0) - If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES,
    	   FS, or GS segment limit.
    
    CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS macro executes VERW instruction before returning to user
    space. Use %cs selector to reference VERW operand. This ensures VERW will
    not #GP for an arbitrary user %ds.
