x86/entry: Convert INT 0x80 emulation to IDTENTRY
There is no real reason to have a separate ASM entry point implementation for the legacy INT 0x80 syscall emulation on 64-bit. IDTENTRY provides all the functionality needed with the only difference that it does not: - save the syscall number (AX) into pt_regs::orig_ax - set pt_regs::ax to -ENOSYS Both can be done safely in the C code of an IDTENTRY before invoking any of the syscall related functions which depend on this convention. Aside of ASM code reduction this prepares for detecting and handling a local APIC injected vector 0x80.

+ * int80_emulation - 32-bit legacy syscall entry
+ *
+ * This entry point can be used by 32-bit and 64-bit programs to perform
+ * 32-bit system calls. Instances of INT $0x80 can be found inline in
+ * various programs and libraries. It is also used by the vDSO's
+ * __kernel_vsyscall fallback for hardware that doesn't support a faster
+ * entry method. Restarted 32-bit system calls also fall back to INT
+ * $0x80 regardless of what instruction was originally used to do the
+ * system call.
+ *
+ * This is considered a slow path. It is not used by most libc
+ * implementations on modern hardware except during process startup.
+ *
+ * The arguments for the INT $0x80 based syscall are on stack in the
+ * pt_regs structure:
+ * eax: system call number
+ * ebx, ecx, edx, esi, edi, ebp: arg1 - arg 6
