You are right! This also means I need to do the 'popl %fs' before the
cr3-switch. I'll fix it in the next version.
I have no real idea on how to switch back to the entry stack without
access to per_cpu variables. I also can't access the cpu_entry_area for
the cpu yet, because for that we need to be on the entry stack already.
