I couldn't figure out why the triple-fault was happening, so I disabled the test outright. Knowing that the other emulator.c tests pass is more useful than a VM stuck in a reboot loop. On x86-64, this test was adding little value since it was broken to begin with: an LDT descriptor is 16 bytes on x86-64. The GDT limit was also bogus. I've fixed these problems for posterity. N.B. I only tested this on Linux 4.3.5. Perhaps lldt emulation has been fixed since then.
