I don't understand your question exactly, but anyway I would suggest

- reading Pentium manual from Intel (I've it somewhere on my disk, if you 
can't find it)
- see arch/i386/kernel/traps.c, especially functions as set_trap_gate(), 
_set_gate(), etc.
- just be more specific.

Your question could be answered shortly by two words: lidt instruction.
