y u no like kvm-unit-tests?  For the task gate test it's much simpler, 
as all the infrastructure for 32-bit IDT and GDT is already there, and 
there is no real KVM corner case being tested.

See 
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260512210847.3039048-1-pbonzini@redhat.com/ 
for a conversion, which is about 1/6th of the size of int1_task_gate_test.c.
