[PATCH] x86, traps: maps all IDTs to fixmap area.

From: Wang Nan
Date: Thu Feb 26 2015 - 02:07:35 EST


The reason why mapping idt_table to fixmap area should also be applied
to debug_idt_table and trace_idt_table. This patch does same thing for
all IDTs.

I believe trace_idt_table and debug_idt_table should be symmetrical with
idt_table. However, Like my previous patch 'x86, traps: install gates
using IST after cpu_init()', I'm not sure whether this is a practical
fix.
