Small detail, the syntactic form you chose:

+       if (!cpu->arch.idt[num].p)

is not very readable because it's not obvious at first sight that ".p" intends to mean "present bit". If then idt[num].present would have been the better choice - but it's even better to not do bitfields at all but an idt_present(desc *) helper inline function.


There is, however, some benefit to use the field names that are in the official documentation, which include P.
