    x86/idt: Unify gate_struct handling for 32/64-bit kernels · 64b163fa

    The first 32 bits of gate struct are the same for 32 and 64 bit kernels.
    
    The 32-bit version uses desc_struct and no designated data structure,
    so we need different accessors for 32 and 64 bit kernels.
    
    Aside of that the macros which are necessary to build the 32-bit
    gate descriptor are horrible to read.
    
    Unify the gate structs and switch all code fiddling with it over.
