Yeah, I noticed that only after sending the email. Other parts of the
FRED series vastly changes this function.

I'm afraid this doesn't compile.
arch/x86/crash.c:66:17: error: passing argument 1 of ‘set_ist’ from
incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
...
note: expected ‘volatile idt_entry_t *’ but argument is of type
‘idt_entry_t (*)[256]’
Similarly {en,dis}able_each_ist() and _set_gate_lower().
