Sure, except you can't use them in

arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:8:#define IDT_ALIGN (8 * (1 + HAS_KERNEL_IBT))

as that gets used in asm code.

But you don't have to do this in this patchset - it is huge already
anyway. I have this thing on my todo so I'll get to it eventually.
Unless you're itching to remove it yourself - then I won't stay in the
way.

:-)

Thx.
