Title:
  /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 does not exist

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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/abi/ldt16: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  root@Johnnyfive:~# ls /proc/sys/abi/

  The issue is discussed in lots of places:
  --> https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/7/508
  --> https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=22700
  --> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2228133.html

  The issue seems to be a very old regression, a bug on this was filed and closed in 2014. 
  --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1328965

  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?
