[PATCH] i386: Descriptor and trap table cleanups.
The implementation comes from Zach's [RFC, PATCH 10/24] i386 Vmi descriptor changes: Descriptor and trap table cleanups. Add cleanly written accessors for IDT and GDT gates so the subarch may override them. Note that this allows the hypervisor to transparently tweak the DPL of the descriptors as well as the RPL of segments in those descriptors, with no unnecessary kernel code modification. It also allows the hypervisor implementation of the VMI to tweak the gates, allowing for custom exception frames or extra layers of indirection above the guest fault / IRQ handlers.
