I mean "mechanisms by which user mode code can enter supervisor mode."

No, I cannot give examples. Intel is very careful about the NDAs on this
information, and after watching the difficulties that Robert Collins had
to deal with, I have always refused to sign these NDAs. And so, of
course, if I now disclosed any of this I would be subject to prosecution
and prison for information theft.

Which would at least give me plenty of time to get Coyotos working. :-)
