Confused? Yes. Very? I don't think so.

Yes, I think I understand now. The problem is depending on contents in
%eax, I have to either adjust registers or call the old interrupt
handler.

I have switched to a pure assembly handler now.

Trying things out I surely generated a lot GPFs. So I simplyfied my
code to the bare minimum, but it still won't work.

Perhaps somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong in the following
code. It just chains the previous handler. When I get this to work
I'll not always jump to the previous one.

What happens for me is it says "About to insert me...", I press
<space> or <Enter>, then no matter how long I wait (at least 2
minutes) nothing more happens. I try hitting <space> or some other
keys: nothing happens. When I get bored, I hit C-C, and is rewarded
with "This program has performed an illegal instruction..." 
"Fault location 0028:C0001FE7
Faulting component: VMM(01) + 00000FE7
Interrupts in service: 1"
