  Description:
 
     Loads the access rights of a selector into a specified register.
     The source operand must be a register or memory operand containing
     a selector. The destination operand must be a register that will
     receive the access rights if the selector is valid and visible at
     the current privilege level. The zero flag is set if the access
     rights are transferred, or cleared if they are not.
 
     See Intel documentation for details on selectors, access rights,
     and other privileged-mode concepts.
