For ?

Let's explain pls.

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

Let's add some side comments here:

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

 +	orl     $0x00008e00, %edx		# Present, Type 32-bit Interrupt Gate

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