Ok, there appears to be a bug in that conversion - does the patch below fix the
regression for you?

Thanks,

Subject: x86/idt: Fix the X86_TRAP_BP gate
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx>

Andrei Vagin reported a CRIU regression and bisected it back to:

90f6225fba0c ("x86/idt: Move IST stack based traps to table init")

This table init conversion loses the system-gate property of X86_TRAP_BP
and erroneously moves it from DPL3 to DPL0.

Fix it.
