Heh, and I was waiting for comments from you before doing anything further with
it ;-)
Email review deadlock!
So, how do you plan to push ahead with this patch?

I think I got all the cases, as NMIs causes the store/restore functions to be
re-entrent without any locks.

Steven,
if you think you got all the cases, you can do more testing.
What is your concern?
I hope this patch will be included in 3.9.
What about the following:
The base address of the IDT doesn't generally change... the one
exception is when we do the funny NMI workaround.
For that reason, I would be happier if we just restored the standard
value instead of saving/restoring stuff.
