This failed to work on 32 bit at all (crashed and burned badly - triple
fault!). Looking at it I found one issue. This code is done before the
regs are saved, and PT_EFLAGS(%esp) and PT_CS(%esp) expect %esp to
contain them. I applied this patch against this but it didn't totally
fix the problems. It still constantly crashes (although, with this
update I can put in some printks to get some ideas). I haven't spent
too much time on it, but it looks like there's an issue with the
entry-stack that int3 switches to. I'm not sure its handling the copy
well.
