But this loads a real mode handler as a TSR then connects to it via gcc. I
want to install a protected mode handler with an entry in go32's idt, to
minimise the overhead (in context switching) of handling serial interrupts.
Ideally, an interrupt gate should give a very fast protected mode switch to
my handler (no stack swapping code or other PC nasties).
