Log Message:
Mitigation for CVE-2018-8897 on i386. Contrary to amd64 there is no clear
way to determine if we are in kernel mode but with the user context; so we
go the hard way, and scan the IDT.

On i386 the bug is less of a problem, since we don't have GSBASE. All an
attacker can do is panicking the system.
