IDT and GDT, both capitalized pls. Also, the comment at the top of the
file needs adjusting.

Can you pls also extend this comment here to say "IDT" for faster
pinpointing when someone like me is looking for the place where the
kernel IDT/GDT get restored again.

In any case, those are all minor nitpicks, other than that LGTM.

Lemme go test it on whatever I can - if others wanna run this, it would
be very much appreciated!

Thx.
