x86/entry: Do not allow external 0x80 interrupts

Browse source

The INT 0x80 instruction is used for 32-bit x86 Linux syscalls. The
kernel expects to receive a software interrupt as a result of the INT
0x80 instruction. However, an external interrupt on the same vector
also triggers the same codepath.

An external interrupt on vector 0x80 will currently be interpreted as a
32-bit system call, and assuming that it was a user context.

Panic on external interrupts on the vector.

To distinguish software interrupts from external ones, the kernel checks
the APIC ISR bit relevant to the 0x80 vector. For software interrupts,
this bit will be 0.
