[patch V3 07/14] scripts/gdb: Update x86 interrupts to the array based storage

From: Thomas Gleixner

Date: Thu Mar 26 2026 - 17:58:19 EST


x86 changed the interrupt statistics from a struct with individual members
to an counter array. It also provides a corresponding info array with the
strings for prefix and description and an indicator to skip the entry.

Update the already out of sync GDB script to use the counter and the info
array, which keeps the GDB script in sync automatically.
