B.4.115. `HLT': Halt Processor
------------------------------

     HLT                           ; F4                   [8086,PRIV]

   `HLT' puts the processor into a halted state, where it will perform
no more operations until restarted by an interrupt or a reset.

   On the 286 and later processors, this is a privileged instruction.
