The error message is wrong (given AMD's older interpretation of what a NUL segment should contain, attribute wise), and actively unhelpful because you only get it in response to a hypercall where the one piece of information you cannot provide is the segment selector.
Fix the message to talk about segment attributes, rather than the selector.
