I agreed, that unnecessary reading IO ports should be minimized as
much, as possible. But is this only optimization or have some other issues?

Which ones?

I think, not "not hurt" - this "must have" modification. Because
original code lost all previous flags and enables interrupts on exit (which
may be undesirable by caller).

PS: There are more changes, which I not mention, and which are not
commented. For example, what does DebugBreak? (Letters "swat" suggest, that
this relates to 386SWAT debugger?) Then, you change "map" from "1.75M" to
"1.5M" - by which reasons? I suggest, this may have bad effect, because
Michael found (though, as always, not comment) some issues, which relate to
size of preallocated memory. Also, you add some deals with "client stack" -
no comments what wrong with original code. You replace some code by "clts" -
is it code optimization (reduction) or something more?
