IDT Table

The IDT is stored in the idt_table table, which includes 256 entries. The 6-byte
idt_descr variable specifies both the size of the IDT and its address, it is used only when the
kernel initializes the idtr register with the lidt Assembly instruction. In all other cases, the
kernel refers to the idt variable to get the address of the IDT.
