Bug Description
Hi,
I guess I stumbled upon a VERY old problem;
I can't make some of my windows-programs work, despite they have a gold rating in wine.
Some old Windows binaries that include 16-Bit Code need the kernel to have echo 1 >> /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 enabled, but that pseudo-file does not exist on my 16.04 Ubuntu system.
root@Johnnyfive:~# echo 1 >> /proc/sys/abi/ldt16
-bash: /proc/sys/
root@Johnnyfive:~# ls /proc/sys/abi/

The issue is discussed in lots of places:
--> https:/
--> https:/
--> http://
The issue seems to be a very old regression, a bug on this was filed and closed in 2014.

So I think that this is a very old and annoying regression that just wont stop
keep coming back. Could you please include the fix once and for all?
