Add a separate bringup IDT for the CPU bringup code that will be used until the kernel switches to the idt_table. There are two reasons for a separate IDT: 1) When the idt_table is set up and the secondary CPUs are booted, it contains entries (e.g. IST entries) which require certain CPU state to be set up. This includes a working TSS (for IST), MSR_GS_BASE (for stack protector) or CR4.FSGSBASE (for paranoid_entry) path. By using a dedicated IDT for early boot this state need not to be set up early. 2) The idt_table is static to idt.c, so any function using/modifying must be in idt.c too. That means that all compiler driven instrumentation like tracing or KASAN is also active in this code. But during early CPU bringup the environment is not set up for this instrumentation to work correctly. To avoid all of these hassles and make early exception handling robust, use a dedicated bringup IDT. The IDT is loaded two times, first on the boot CPU while the kernel is still running on direct mapped addresses, and again later after the switch to kernel addresses has happened. The second IDT load happens on the boot and secondary CPUs.
