I guess this should say "&stack_segment" in order for it to be
consistent with the rest of the set_intr_gate() calls here.

Fortunately, this is not an issue as function designators are
automatically promoted to function pointers, as the identical asm shows:

         .loc 1 792 0
         movq    $stack_segment, %rsi    #,
         movl    $12, %edi       #,
         call    set_intr_gate   #

         .loc 1 792 0
         movq    $stack_segment, %rsi    #,
         movl    $12, %edi       #,
         call    set_intr_gate   #
