I thought about that too. But when I looked at the assembler stuff of
set_gate() I didn't want mess with it. Is there really a need for doing
it in assembler ? Two wrapper functions unlock_idt() and lock_idt()
around _set_gate should also work, but gives some overhead, which shouldn't
be a problem.
