  Description:
 
     Verifies that a specified segment selector is valid and can be
     read or written to at the current privilege level.
 
     VERR verifies that the selector is readable; VERW verifies that
     the selector can be written to. If the segment is verified, the
     zero flag is set. Otherwise, the zero flag is cleared.
