Edit Question
Title
Body
A couple of questions regarding the x86 CPU privilege rings: Why aren't rings 1 and 2 used by most operating systems? Is it just to maintain code compatibility with other architectures, or is there a better reason? Are there any operating systems which actually use those rings? Or are they completely unused?
