Kernel: Resolve FIXME relating to the gate type arg for x86 Interrupts

Browse source 
According to the Intel Software Developer's Manual Volume 3A section
6.12.1.3, the interrupt gate type means the IF flag is cleared to
prevent nested interruption. The trap gate type does not modify the
IF flag. Thus the gate type argument is important when constructing
an IDTEntry.
