Subject: [PATCH 8/24] i386: convert hardware exception 7 to an interrupt gate

From: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@...tmail.fm>

Handle no coprocessor exception with interrupt initially off.

device_not_available in entry_32.S calls either math_state_restore
or math_emulate. This patch adds an extra indirection to be
able to re-enable interrupts explicitly in traps_32.c
