Unfortunately I have no SVM machine. 
The task switch is a software interrupt "int $2" in a proprietary OS.

Sorry, I don't have much time to test this. 
But the OS works fine with this patch. (of course, the OS is for native) 
I confirmed Windows(XP,2008Server) never use a task switch. 
So I think it's worth to get in the tree.

Thanks,
