Modified Files:
        src/sys/arch/i386/i386: vector.S

Log Message:
The reason we are not using INTRENTRY here is because this interrupt goes
through a task gate that points to a TSS entry in the GDT, and therefore
the GPRs are saved in the TSS by the hardware itself. Explain it, otherwise
it easily looks buggy.
