lguest, x86/entry/32: Fix handling of guest syscalls using interrupt gates
In a798f091113e ("x86/entry/32: Change INT80 to be an interrupt gate") Andy broke lguest. This is because lguest had special code to allow the 0x80 trap gate go straight into the guest itself; interrupts gates (without more work, as mentioned in the file's comments) bounce via the hypervisor. His change made them go via the hypervisor, but as it's in the range of normal hardware interrupts, they were not directed through to the guest at all. Turns out the guest userspace isn't very effective if syscalls are all noops. I haven't ripped out all the now-useless trap-direct-to-guest-kernel code yet, since it will still be needed if someone decides to update this optimization.
