For ?

Let's explain pls.

You can push that ifdeffery out of the main path (diff ontop):

Let's add some side comments here:

+ andl $0x0000ffff, %edx # Target code segment offset [15:0]


+ movl $__KERNEL32_CS, %ecx # Target code segment selector
> + shl $16, %ecx

+ andl $0xffff0000, %edx # Target code segment offset [31:16]
+ orl $0x00008e00, %edx # Present, Type 32-bit Interrupt Gate

so that a reader like me can quickly find interrupt gates in the docs.

Thx.
