While part of the original AMD64 spec, Long Mode Segment Limit Enable was a feature not picked up by Intel, and therefore didn't see much adoption in software. AMD have finally dropped the feature from hardware, and allocated a CPUID bit to indicate its absence. Xen has never supported the feature for guests, even when running on capable hardware, so advertise the feature's absence unilaterally.
