If I read this correctly, this does not use IST. If that's true, I
don't see how this can possibly work. There at least two nasty cases
that come to mind:

1. SYSCALL followed by NMI. The NMI IRET hack gets to #VC and we
explode. This is fixable by getting rid of the NMI EFLAGS.TF hack.

2. tools/testing/selftests/x86/mov_ss_trap_64. User code does MOV
(addr), SS; SYSCALL, where addr has a data breakpoint. We get #DB
promoted to #VC with no stack.
