+32-to-64-bit call gate unsupported in IA32e mode
+
+In particular, the lcall implementation doesn't support the 64-bit TSS.
+
+helper_lcall_protected (target-i386/seg_helper.c:1884) calls get_ss_esp_from_tss() on a call gate to a lower privilege level, which tries to extract a 32-bit ESP and 16-bit SS from the TSS.  In IA32e mode (64-bit or compatibility mode), this instead grabs the lower 32-bits of the target RSP, and 16 of the upper bits as the SS.  Additionally, several of the subsequent checks are incorrect (even if the correct stack pointer were extracted).
+
+This isn't a problem for interrupts since the interrupts are given their own implementation entirely, that uses get_rsp_from_tss() rather than get_ss_esp_from_tss().
+
+I believe the missing logic is from the branch starting "ELSE (* current TSS is 64-bit *)" in the CALL pseudocode in the Intel manual (page 3-124 of the PDF I have).
+
+Reproduced at master (c0b520dfb8890294a9f8879f4759172900585995), and also as of a qemu built a year ago.
